Herts Parent Carer Involvement hosted a SEND Strategy webinar where we introduced the strategy and our aims and ambitions.

Watch the recording of the SEND Strategy webinar on Youtube.

In response to our SEND Inspection report from Ofsted and the CQC, we have developed a "priority action plan". This plan sets out how we are going to deliver the ambitions within our SEND strategy and meet the improvements that Ofsted and the CQC require.

Our ambitions

Our strategy is made up of 5 ambitions that underpin how we will deliver services and support across education, health and social care over the next 3 years:

Tailoring

Plan and deliver services that are flexible, respect individual wishes and meet individual needs.

Enabling

Continue to develop a skilled, learning workforce that strives for excellence and staff are proud of their own achievements and celebrate those of others.

Supporting

Provide sufficient and appropriate provision in Hertfordshire and within their community to meet children and young people's wishes and needs.

Collaborating

Work in partnership with other organisations to deliver the right services at the right time to prevent problems escalating.

Succeeding

Support all children and young people with SEND to achieve success in all areas of life, understand the impact of the pandemic and work to ensure our young people achieve their potential.
