Dear Colleagues
Re. Education SEND strategy
The
SEND reference group has representatives from all education sectors to help
make sure that there is good joint working at a strategic level. At its last meeting 30 June it considered the
self-evaluation of SEND from an education perspective and the draft education
SEND strategy. It agreed that all
schools and colleges should have an opportunity to consider these which were
still at an early stage.
Members
of the SEND reference group agreed to meet 13 September to discuss any feedback
received and further development of the self-evaluation and the strategy. The representatives are: Catherine Rees
(DAPH), Moira Marder (DASH), Sarah Pickering (SHAD) and Mim White (FE).
I
therefore attach links to documents below for your information:
a. A
summary of the self-evaluation (two pages)
b. A
more detailed self-evaluation for information
c. A
summary of the key areas of the draft education SEND strategy
d. The
full draft SEND strategy for information
All the documents are
provided for information but we quite understand that many people will only
have the opportunity to consider the summaries.
We would appreciate if you could feedback by Friday 9 September (although feedback after that date will still be appreciated) on:
1. You agree that the self-evaluation is largely accurate.
2. Any comments on the self-evaluation
3. Your views on the draft strategy:
a. Are the principles appropriate?
b. Are the key challenges accurate?
c. Are the key strategies the right ones?
How do I submit my feedback?
Please send your feedback via this F O R M to Alice Potter at the above email address to the Special Education 0-25 Team.
Thank you for your time and I wish you all a refreshing summer break.
Yours Faithfully
Julia Foster, SEN Strategy Manager
