Issue details

The national challenges around Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) have included concerns around funding, workforce retention and skills, and increasing demand for SEND services. These challenges have put significant pressure on local authorities to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND. In response to these challenges, the Lancashire SEND Partnership has been working collaboratively to improve services and outcomes for children and young people with SEND.

This report highlights the significant investment made by the council to stabilise and enhance these services, shares the outcome of the SEND inspection, and outlines the development of a Priority Action Plan and next steps for the local area partnership. Additionally, it provides details on the broader SEND transformation programme.
