SEND Programme Update

The SEND Programme Board provides oversight on the implementation the reforms set out in the SEND Code of Practice 2015.

Based upon the areas of most concern and where most improvement is needed the following priorities are proposed for 2017/18:

1. Increasing the number of supported internships and work opportunities
2. Improving the percentage of EHC plans issued within 20 weeks of referral
3. Further develop and promote the Local Offer website to young people, parents and professionals
4. Embedding the voice of young people in SEND planning and processes
5. Agree education, health and social care joint working practices for children and young people with SEND
6. Improve the experience of transition through health and social care services

Across the programme we are working with parents and carers, schools and colleges, local authority services and health partners.
