Working with our partners
Part of our statutory remit is to work in partnership not only with children, young people and families but also with Clinical Commissioning Groups, the local authority and other relevant partners to increase the understanding and confidence of families and practitioners regarding SEND.
(SEND Code of Practice 2.8)
We support the facilitation of the termly local authority training for multi-agency practitioners around writing Quality Advice for EHCPs and Annual Reviews, bringing in the parent voice and views from our impartial standpoint. Booking for this training is via the local authority CPD online.
We are working with the Engagement Hub to support their work with schools and colleges in empowering children and young people with SEND and helping them to share their views. We aim to develop our training offer for staff, and also for young people with SEND in schools, and are keen to hear from you.
