We have heard from stakeholders that they wish to see an open and transparent process to discuss changes in local authority Education functions, particularly in relation to SEND and inclusion. To enable that to happen, and to maximise the potential for all school leaders to be part of that discussion, we will be utilising the time already planned in diaries for face to face Headteacher Briefings in April.

Sessions for council staff, parents and other stakeholder groups will be shared after Easter. Dates for parental engagement sessions will be shared in the April edition of the SEND newsletter and will take place in May/June.
