Excelling at SEND inspection and provision
Countdown to Start Date
Event Details
Description
The Local Area SEND Inspections: One Year On report, which was published in October 2017, raises significant concerns regarding strategies to implement SEND reforms. With almost a third of local authorities inspected having been required to prepare a written statement of action (WSOA), it is essential that you are able to implement the reforms and focus on improving outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
