A new strategy has been agreed by council leaders to support children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to be the best they can be.

The joint strategy from the city council and the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been created to make sure that there is a clear, agreed vision across the city so that children and young people with SEND have the right support, at the right time, delivered by the right people.

Feedback from children, young people and their families has shaped the strategy and informed improvements to services to ensure that in Stoke-on-Trent, SEND is understood and embraced so services can work with children and families to shape solutions and meet ambitions for the future.
