Minutes:
The Executive Member for Education and the
Director of Education and Partnerships submitted a report for the Executive’s
consideration. The purpose of the report was to provide an update on Special
Educational Needs and/or Disabilities 0-25 in Middlesbrough since the local
area revisit in July 2019 and since the last Executive report in November 2020.
The submitted report provided information on:
·
The
Local Picture (see paragraphs 6 to 10);
·
The
Local Area Inspection Framework (see paragraphs 11 to 14);
·
Funding
(see paragraphs 15 to 20); and
·
Key
Developments (see paragraphs 21 to 23).
The local area’s SEND Strategy (see Appendix 1
of the submitted report) had recently been updated. Within the strategy, the current priorities
were outlined, which were linked to identified areas
for development. Those priorities were detailed at paragraph 24 of the
submitted report.
It was planned that the key priorities and
areas for development would be monitored via the SEND Strategic Group to ensure
all action plans from the key work streams were on track. Work would also be
monitored through engagement with families and the parents
forum.
The Council would continue to use information
gathered from its SEND Strategic Group, key stakeholders, families and young
people to regularly update the local area self-evaluation, which planned to
highlight strengths and areas of development.
That information would be fed into key work streams to ensure areas of
development were addressed.
ORDERED
That the
update on progress within the local area since the 2017 Written Statement of
Action, the local area revisit in July 2019 and the Executive Annual Report
2020 be noted.
