The Derbyshire Local Area SEND Partnership set up the improvement board following an Ofsted and CQC inspection of its services in September 2024 which identified 'widespread, systemic failings'.
One of the commitments in the plan is to better communicate with the children and families directly affected by SEND services as well as with schools, health partners, other agencies and all relevant stakeholders
One of the ways we’ll do this as a Partnership is via monthly SEND improvement news updates on the Derbyshire Local Offer website. These will also be shared – supported by our Board partnership with parent participation group ‘Derbyshire Parent Carer Voice’ – with children, young people, their parents, carers and families as well as via local media, all partnership news channels and on social media.
