Invitation to SENCO Focus Group meeting 22nd November as part of Devon’s SEND peer review

SEND banner

Dear all,

On the 22nd-25th November Devon will be subject to a SEND peer review. We have invited LGA to organise this peer review in order for us to better understand where we are in terms of our progress with the implementation of the SEND reforms.

As part of the review we would like to set up a SENCO Focus Group meeting in order to give the peers to get the opportunity to meet with and get the insights and perspectives of SENCOs from across the county. We are keen to hear your views on what’s gone well and where you feel further improvements should be made. This is a valuable learning opportunity for Devon to listen to schools/SENCO’s and recognise the developments already made as well as identifying what further needs to be done.

The SENCO Focus Group meeting will take place on Tuesday the 22nd November at County Hall in Exeter from 16.00-17.00. We would strongly encourage as many SENCOs to participate in this meeting as possible and we would be grateful if you could confirm you participation to Heather Spackman Heather.Spackman@devon.gov.uk no later than the 15th November 2016.

Kind regards,

Julia Foster  |  SEN Strategy Manager  |  Devon County Council
