Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB
Positive progress is being made for children and young people with Special Education Needs and/or Disability (SEND) – 12 months after significant concerns were highlighted by health and education watchdogs.
Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) had asked the partnership which provides services for thousands of children and young people to make a number of improvements following a critical SEND inspection. A year on they have cited the ‘positive progress’ that has been made towards improvements.
The Nottinghamshire (SEND) Partnership Improvement Board – set up to challenge and scrutinise the partnership’s performance, progress, and implementation of actions – has stated it is ‘heartened by the progress’ made as part of the SEND Improvement Plan since it was put in place in May 2023.
