Lancashire Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Partnership pdf icon PDF 374 KB

To receive an update on the forthcoming revisit by Ofsted and Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the assessment of progress.

 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Sian Rees, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Consultant, Lancashire County Council, reported on the progress following the inspection by Ofsted and Care Quality Commission in November 2017 to judge how effectively the special educational needs and disability reforms had been implemented, as set out in the Children and Families Act 2014.  The inspection identified two fundamental failings and twelve areas of significant concern.

 

Formal review visits by the Department for Education (DfE) and NHS England had taken place since 2018 to consider the progress being made in line with the Written Statement of Action; the most recent being on 19 August 2019.

 

Preparation for the forthcoming re-visit by Ofsted and Care Quality Commission (CQC) to the Lancashire local area had been taking place; the visit would assess the progress made in addressing the twelve areas of concern detailed in the original report.

 

The re-visit was expected to take place before the end of October 2019 and in preparation for this the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Partnership Board would consider the self-assessment at its next meeting on 16 September 2019.  The re-visit would include all partners and engagement with parents, children and young people.

 

Headlines from the 36 page self-assessment were presented to the Board and the full self-assessment would be circulated to members following the meeting of the Partnership Board on 16 September 2019.

 

Five areas were also identified where the pace of progress needed to be accelerated and again, these would be considered and the plans agreed at the Partnership Board also in September.  The five areas were:

 

Quality of Education, Health and Care Plans

Education Outcomes

Transition Arrangements

Information about the Local Offer

Implementing Neuro-development Pathway

 

The self-assessment was felt to be a fair and reasonable assessment, evidenced by some fundamental changes.

 

Resolved:  That the Health and Wellbeing Board:

 

i)  Received a presentation to outline the process of the forthcoming re-visit by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC);

ii)  Summarised the assessment of progress to date;

iii)  Shared the process in place to accelerate progress where this was required.

Population Health Management pdf icon PDF 34 KB

To develop a data sharing agreement between Primary Care/Hospitals/Local Authorities for planning purposes and to receive the Digital Health Strategy and Population Management Health work.  The Board will also be requested to get the system sign off for the Data Access Request Service.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Declan Hadley, Digital Lead, Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care System and Lindsey Roome, Digital Programme Manager, Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships, NHS England North (Lancashire and South Cumbria) presented the PowerPoint presentation that was circulated with the agenda.

 

The presentation provided an update on the 20 weeks population health management accelerator programme and a short video clip was shown.

 

The programme would give opportunities for partners to collaborate more than was currently happening and needed to link with national initiatives.  Data sharing was still a key challenge and a solution was still being sought regarding this and the Board was asked to support this across the sector.  Everybody needed to work better with the resources they had and use it in a better way.  The success of this programme will be how the rest of the public sector, including transport, housing etc work with each other.

 

Resolved:  That the Health and Wellbeing Board:

 

i)  Discussed and endorsed next steps to embed population health management as an approach to implement Integrated Care Services priorities, in particular the development of neighbourhoods.

ii)  Receive a further update report in January 2020 which includes a progress report on information sharing agreements.
