SEND Strategy 2021-2024 follow up survey
(posted on SEND News and Updates 03/12/20)
Devon County Council, Devon Clinical Commissioning Group and colleagues from our partner organisations are working to transform the experience of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families.
Recently we circulated a survey asking you for your views on the new vision for the SEND service and its four priorities, and asked you to suggest what actions we should take to deliver these priorities. We have taken your suggested actions and included them in the strategy.
We would love to hear your views on this updated version of the strategy.
Please let us know what you think by answering this short survey. Your answers will help us to determine the final strategy. Here is the link to the survey.
The closing date for the survey is Sunday 13 December 2020.

SEND Strategy video for children and young people for feedback
(posted on SEND News and Updates 08/12/20)
Here's a link to a short video about Devon’s draft strategy for Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) provision across the county. It includes a newly developed vision and priorities for us to support children and young people with SEND, and their families in the best way possible, and has been written by staff at Devon County Council in partnership with NHS Devon CCG, the Parent Carer Forum Devon and with input from children and young people with SEND.
Feedback from children and young people with SEND, and their families, is really important to us to make sure we get our strategy right so we’re able to give them the help and support they need in a way that suits them. We would be grateful if you could share this with your networks and discuss this with your pupils, and ask them to answer the questions at the end of the video to let us know their views.
Share your views with us by 16 December 2020 - send your replies to:
childsc.sendimprovementprogramme-mailbox@devon.gov.uk
We will be able to analyse their feedback and ensure it’s taken into consideration when we finalise the strategy.
SEND Transformation Design options survey
Here's a link to the SEND service design options PowerPoint, noting that this survey is for professionals only (a survey for parent/carers will be sent out separately).
The PowerPoint provides an overview of the current SEND service, and three potential options with their advantages and disadvantages. You will also find the SEND vision and priorities which are in the draft SEND Strategy (which is also out for consultation - see above) and the SEND design principles.
Please look at the three service design options either in the PowerPoint or in the survey before answering four questions at the end of the survey. Here is a link to the survey.
The deadline for this survey is 6 January 2021.
The SEND Transformation Design Workstream will analyse your responses and incorporate them into the final service design.
