Delay in SEND Strategy Launch

Dear Parent, Carers and Families

As you may be aware, an Independent Review of aspects of Suffolk’s SEND Services has been commissioned by Suffolk County Council. The Review started on 21/6/21 and will be completed within six weeks. A final report on the SEND Review will be submitted to Suffolk County Council by 30th July 2021.

Although the review is not focused on our Suffolk SEND Strategy for 2021-2023, we have taken the decision to delay presenting the draft co-produced strategy to Suffolk County Council Cabinet and the Clinical Commissioning Groups until we have reviewed the findings of the Independent Review. This will ensure that any recommendations that can improve services and the experiences of young people and families can be included in the new SEND Strategy.
