Workforce development improvement plan
Introduction
As part of the 2024 Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) post-inspection improvement plan, we are seeking to understand skills and confidence across all areas of SEND from all workforce areas.
This audit will support the strategic workstream based around this area of the improvement plans.
Details of the improvement plan can be found below.
What does the Partnership need to do better?
Some education professionals do not always have the skills and expertise to meet the increasing complexity of need. Leaders acknowledge the need to implement a workforce development plan. However, this is not yet at the co-production stage of strategic planning.
Area for improvement 
The Local Area Partnership should continue to embed their approach to inclusion and SEND strategy so that practitioners have the skills and expertise to work together effectively. This should better meet the needs of children and young people across all services.
Outcomes
Practitioners across all settings will be better able to identify and meet the needs of children and young people early and in a consistent way.
Evidence that outcomes are being met
- Overall improvement for School attendance for children and young people with SEND
- Increase parental confidence in SEND needs being met at school level without an education health and care plan
- Reduction in suspensions and exclusions for pupils with SEND
- No reduced timetables in place to manage behaviour
