SEND and Inclusion Strategy consultation
Our aspirations for SEND and inclusion in Buckinghamshire
- Embed an early intervention and needs-led approach. We want children, young people and their families to be supported at the earliest possible stage, and for this support not to be dependent on a clinical diagnosis.
- Integrate and strengthen service delivery so that the whole system works in a coherent way.
- Strengthen communication, providing clear advice and guidance so that families access the right support at the right time.
- Develop a consistent approach to decision-making about the support provided for children and young people with high support needs. We will use a multi-disciplinary team approach, to make sure the right expertise informs the decisions.
- Develop our SEND Sufficiency Plan to shape local provision. We want to ensure the plan delivers sufficient places for children and young people so that their needs can be met locally.
- Strengthen our approach to preparation for adulthood, ensuring there are clear pathways for children and young people to access meaningful opportunities at post-16 and post-19.
