Partners coming together to drive improvement work in the region
Overview
The aim of this group is to bring together key partners to steer regional work and to create a governance structure for SEND work in the region. The steering group will have oversight of regional data, the SW regional SEND plan and the work of partners. It will have a focus of supporting improvement and sharing better practice across the region. It will set strategic direction and will have a solution focussed, action orientation.
The steering group will update the South West Association of Directors of Childrens Service’s (ADCS) and the Sector Led Improvement Group (SLIP).
