We are committed to work with our partners to develop processes around co-production and ensure this is embedded in everything that we do. We produce strategies that lead to co-delivery of services, making the best use of resources available for children and young people with SEND.
We are a small but growing team, united by a shared commitment to delivering the highest quality support to families of children and young people with SEND. While the work can be challenging, our creative, solution-focused and collaborative approach makes it incredibly rewarding. Our team is friendly and supportive and brings together a blend of experienced professionals who have been part of the SEND service for many years, alongside newer colleagues bringing fresh perspectives and ideas.&nbsp;
