professional associations.

During the development of the SEND Strategic Plan for Educational
Provision 2018-23, significant support was received for the
creation of locality based SEND Multidisciplinary
teams. A formal 45 day consultation has been carried out with staff
and unions to establish a new locality based model. The benefits of
the new structure include:
• the ability to meet need at the earliest opportunity
• Key working approaches to children and young people with
SEND
• Therapeutic offer strengthened particularly for targeted
provision and individual assessed need
• Focus on partnership working in localities to address areas
of need in SEND
