Hello %FirstName%

SEND & Alternative Provision Strategy Consultation, PODS Sleep Workshops & Lots More...

SEND & Alternative Provision Strategy Consultation

The SEND and Alternative Provision Strategy has gone "LIVE".  The strategy covers Education, Health and Social Care and is for whole range of needs including SEN Support and EHCPs.

This is in a very draft format and has been shared now, with responses collated over the next month and before purdah (local council elections).

We will also be providing feedback in line with the 'Working Together' Charter.  

Please read the draft strategy in first instance, and then look to the survey to make a response (or you can do so by email etc).  We will be organising a workshop in due course.
