SEND strategy priority 3: our SEND pathway vision

We will make sure that children and young people with SEND and their families can access the right support from services easily and quickly.

Outcomes of SEND strategy priority 3: our SEND pathway vision

Outcomes of this vision will be:

• a commitment to joint working and joint commissioning that recognises the value of working together to provide a seamless and effective service that will benefit the community and prevent children and young people from falling through the gaps
• an improved Local Offer which will support families to understand and navigate information to help support their needs
• a reduction in the duplication of meetings. Families will only need to tell their story once, using technology to increase access and improve coordination of our work
• short breaks and respite opportunities available for children and adults and meet the needs of families
• children and young people with an EHC plan have their primary need clearly and accurately identified as a result of evidence gathered by professionals
• clear pathways to support joint working between partner agencies and families to enable early identification of SEND
• high quality health advice that is provided in a timely way to contribute to the EHC process, including the annual review
