Peer Review feedback - day 1
The Peer Review got off to a
good start yesterday. The Peer Review team met with a number of different focus
groups and forums, meeting with leads across Education, Health and Social Care
and with Devon's Parent Carer Forum. Thank you to everyone who took the time to
participate in the focus groups.
The sessions all went well -
the Peer Review team found the groups they spoke to very accommodating and were
given a good welcome by all.
They said that our good
arrangements show confidence and a sense of ambition, and that staff were very
open and transparent in the sessions they attended.
The information and views
presented by all the staff involved were highly valued, and will form part of
their overall assessment of our effectiveness. Brief feedback will be
provided to Jo Olsson and Dawn Stabb each day, and the team will continue to
gather further information and clarification on some of their initial findings
before a more detailed presentation of findings scheduled for Friday afternoon
at the Peers' final presentation, and via this bulletin early next week.
Today's itinerary
Today will involve travelling the length and breadth of Devon,
with one part of the team visiting South Devon - a children's centre, primary
and secondary school in Newton Abbot; while the other half of the team travel
to Barnstaple in North Devon to visit a special school, pre-school and post-16
college. The team will also observe a panel meeting as part of the Education
Health and Care assessment process.
Coming up...
Tomorrow's (Thursday) schedule will include a visit to Ellen
Tinkham School to meet with some children and young people with complex needs,
and to Countess Wear Community School in Exeter. They will also take part
in meetings with Early Years leads, our SEND Improvement Board and with our
strategic health colleagues and health providers.
