SEND Strategy

Together, all Tameside partners agreed the guiding principles for developing a successful SEND system. We want children & young people with SEND to have the opportunity to be the best they can be and to have choice and control over their support.
 
We are developing our new SEND Strategy to ensure that those aged 0-25 with special education needs and/or disability receive the support and provision they need.
 
The Children and Families Act 2014, clearly sets out roles and responsibilities for the Local Authority and partners, in ensuring that children and young people with SEND are able to achieve their full potential.

Our SEND Strategy will align with our Corporate Plan and should be considered alongside this.

Our SEND strategy is currently embedded in our refreshed Self-Evaluation, which sets out our improvement journey and is being developed. This will be overseen by our SEND Partnership Board which has representation from stakeholders across the Local Area.
