The effectiveness of the area in improving outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities

 

Many staff are deeply committed to the area’s children and young people with SEND, and groups of children and young people experience positive outcomes as a result of high-quality identification and support. Examples include children and young people and their families supported by specialist staff for hearing and visual impairment, looked after children and young people involved with the Youth Offending Service. In such cases, children, young people and their families play a notably active part in setting targets and reviewing progress. (Sept 21)
