New SEND and Inclusion Strategy launched

Last month, Warwickshire County Council’s Cabinet approved a new strategy to support learners with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

This follows a full consultation with SEND learners, parents/carers, teachers and other stakeholders during November and December 2018. Responses were analysed during workshops and meetings, with the majority of respondents agreeing with the proposed vision and priorities of the strategy.

The new strategy will build on the Vulnerable Learners Strategy 2015-2018, working in partnership with schools, parents and their children to involve them in key decisions to deliver an effective SEND system.

By working in partnership, it will ensure that the needs of SEND learners are met in all educational settings, which means schools can focus on supporting vulnerable learners to be independent and safe in school and beyond.

A leaflet summarising the six priorities and key activities to deliver each of these, will be distributed to parents/carers and to all Warwickshire schools over the coming weeks. In the meantime, both documents are available online via the links below:
