Feedback on broadcasts covering New Processes for Panels and Alternative Provision
In the past month the SEND & Inclusion Change Programme delivered some online broadcasts to help partners find out more about new processes for Alternative Provision and Needs-Focused Panels. These new processes are part of the SEND and Inclusion Change Programme in Warwickshire which aims to help every child access high-quality education so they can achieve their full potential. We want to work together to improve outcomes for our children and young people with SEND by promoting inclusion in mainstream settings, giving schools the skills and resources to meet the needs of learners and building the confidence of parents and carers.
The broadcasts in March outlined changes to processes in the following areas:
- Alternative Provision led by Marie Rooney, Strategic Lead for Alternative Provision, focused on the requirements for an efficient and effective operating model and to ensure statutory compliance.
- Needs-Focussed Panel Processes led by Matt Greenhalgh, Strategic Lead for Children With Disabilities, focused on how we can ensure clear, fair, and transparent decision-making processes in accordance with the SEND Code of Practice and clear guidance to educational settings on their accountabilities and responsibilities.
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to attend the broadcasts and it was great to see we had 93 people joining us from external organisations in total. We are now collating the questions and answers from the sessions and will share these shortly with the attendees.
Positive feedback from the sessions included:
- “Thank you for the live broadcast - it was very informative.”
- “Thank for tonight's presentation it was good to hear what is happening and the vision.”
- “It was a useful way to share the information”
