The Local Authority has a statutory responsibility under the
Children and Families Act 2014 to keep its special educational
provision under review, to ensure sufficiency in placements to meet
the needs of children and young people with special educational
needs and/or disabilities (SEND), working with parents/carers,
young people and providers.
In order to meet this responsibility, the Local Authority developed
and published the Strategic Plan for SEND Education provision 0-25,
2018-2023 (the Strategic Plan) to address the needs of children and
young people with SEND in North Yorkshire. The first annual review
of the plan, which showed that progress was being made in
implementation of the actions, was published in January 2020.The
plan and the annual review can be found here.
In both the Strategic Plan and the annual review it was clearly set
out that there would be a second phase of the plan. This is not a
new or additional plan, but an integral part of the original plan.
Executive Members noted that phase 2 of the plan would be scoped
and developed following a briefing on the annual review of the plan
on 26th November 2019. This report sets out the detail of phase 2
as a result of that work and individual elements of the plan will
be subject to separate Key or Executive decisions (where
appropriate) as work progresses.
