Local Area SEND Partnership Board APRIL 2024
Summary
The SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) Partnership Board in Wirral has made some big changes to improve how they help children with special needs. Here’s what parents need to know:
1. Better Organisation: The board has created a new way to manage their work to make sure decisions are made faster and more effectively. This means fewer meetings and more action.
2. New Leaders: Four important leaders from the community will now meet after every board meeting to make sure plans are being carried out properly. This group includes leaders from health services and education.
3. Training for Members: Every new member of the board will get special training to understand the needs of children with SEND and how to support them best.
4. Clearer Communication: The board will now keep better records of their meetings and decisions, making sure everyone knows what’s happening and when.
5. Parent and Youth Voices: Parents and young people will have a bigger say in decisions. Representatives from these groups will be part of the board to share their experiences and ideas.
Why These Changes?
The board realised that having two separate groups working on the same issues was confusing and slowing things down. By combining efforts and focusing on clear goals, they hope to make faster and better improvements for children with special needs.
Next Steps:
Monthly Meetings: The board will meet every month to keep up with their plans and make sure they are on track.
Feedback from Parents: Parents’ opinions are very important. The board will keep asking for feedback to make sure they are meeting the needs of the children and families.
These changes are aimed at making sure every child with special needs gets the best support possible. The board is committed to improving the lives of these children and making sure their voices are heard.
No Extra Costs: The board has made it clear that these changes won’t cost any extra money, but they will use the resources they already have more effectively.
Parents can feel hopeful that these new plans will lead to better support and services for their children with special needs.
