Strategic Lead for SEND and Inclusion

After 24 years with Warwickshire County Council, Pat Tate is leaving her post as Strategic Lead for Special, Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Inclusion on the 18th February to undertake independent SEND consultancy work. Pat remains passionate about children with SEND and support for their families and schools but is keen, as she reaches a certain age, to recalibrate her work life balance.

My respect for Pat has grown and grown through the last year; she is highly principled and holds outcomes for children and young people at the very heart of all her work. Typical of Pat's dedication is her desire to provide strong transition for her teams into the 'new world' that 2019 will bring.

Thank you Pat for all those years of insightful hard work, which are very much appreciated.
