The SEND Service have received a letter from Will Quince MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families, responding to the Ofsted/CQC Local Area SEND revisit report which was published in November 2021.

Lisa Savage, Interim Head of Statutory SEND, has drafted an open letter to inform you of the steps that we are taking to address this and provide you with the information you need.

If you work in schools, health or social care settings, within local authorities or developing policy for children with SEND, please share your views in a short (10-15 minute) anonymous online survey.
