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.
