Birmingham’s Strategy for SEND & Inclusion Consultation Heather Wood, Jill. Crosbie@birmingham. gov. uk

Journey so far § § § § Reasons to change Setting up the Inclusion Commission – Sept 2016 SEND Review 3 Priorities A Vision, Mission, Objectives Consultation – from 9 th June to 31 st July Documents on “Be Heard” – Draft Strategy, Outline Delivery Plan, Consultation document, FAQs plus details of 3 parent events https: //www. birminghambeheard. org. uk/people-1/sendinclusion

Our Vision & Mission Our Vision Every child and young person aged 0 -25 with a special educational need and/or disability (SEND) in Birmingham will have the opportunity to be happy, healthy and achieve their fullest potential, enabling them to participate in, and contribute to all aspects of life. Our Mission To implement an efficient and inclusive system where practitioners work with families, children and young people aged 0 -25, to develop trust and confidence in order to build genuine and good quality partnerships. This will be achieved by practitioners from all sectors working together collaboratively to deliver the most appropriate local provision and support.

Our Objectives 1. We will develop joint commissioning to ensure resources are used fairly and effectively to provide maximum impact on outcomes. 2. We will provide services that ensure the needs of children and young people who have special educational needs and disabilities and their families are at the heart of all that we do. We aim to offer this as locally as possible. 3. It is our aim that all Birmingham mainstream provision will be welcoming, accessible and inclusive, adhering to the SEND Code of Practice, so that they can meet the needs of most children and young people aged 0 -25 who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. 4. We will develop flexible pathways to enable children and young people to access the right provision and services to meet their individual needs at different stages. This will deliver the best possible outcomes, including education, employment and training, as young people move into adulthood.

Our Priorities 1. Develop a framework of SEND assessment and planning from 0 -25 years to enable professionals and partners to meet the full range of individual need and raise achievement 2. Ensure there is a sufficient and appropriate range of quality provision to meet the needs of children and young people who have SEND aged 0 -25 years and improve outcomes from early years to adulthood 3. Develop a unified resource allocation system to distribute the range of SEND funding across all schools and settings in order to make the most effective use of available resources and maximise the impact on outcomes for young people
