Collaboration and Joint Commissioning
We have a deep understanding of the:
- benefits of a comprehensive offer across education, health, and social care
- importance of integrating education, health, and social care services, and creating links between the professionals that plan and deliver these services
- requirement of Local Areas to jointly commission services
- benefits of partnerships and collaboration.
Engagement with the Users of Services
We are acutely aware of the:
- importance of a robust SEN support offer, as well as the importance of high quality outcomes-focussed EHC plans
- risks to young people if they become disengaged with learning either through their own choices or through exclusion
- the need to prepare for adulthood, and how families and young people need to maximise the opportunities for work and independent living.
Budgets and Responsibilities
We have significant knowledge regarding:
- management of complex high needs budgets, resources, and other forms of funding for Early Years, schools, settings and colleges
- legal duties, responsibilities, and risks associated with delivering services and provision for children and young people with SEND.
The Present, and The Future
We have a deep insight into:
- effective and efficient frameworks for schools, LAs, and health bodies
- the future direction of travel; we know the context and changing landscape of schools, Local Authorities and public organisations.
