Weather disruption
Winter weather is causing disruption to services in some parts of the county. Find out what services may be affected in your area.
We will make sure we increase the education we provide for all children and young people with SEND so that our children can stay in Dorset and thrive in their local communities.
This includes access to:
- health services
- early years provision
- post-16 services
- adults with learning disabilities (LD)
Outcomes of SEND strategy priority 4: our SEND provision and sufficiency vision
Outcomes of this vision will be:
- a joint commissioning strategy for children and young people with SEND and adults with learning disabilities
- a clear evidence base that supports allocating funding to help develop our specialist provision and services
- a reduction in delays for families accessing health services
- more of our young people access further education opportunities in mainstream settings
- a reduction in the number of specialist out-of-county placements
