Consultation: a new approach to area SEND Inspections

The Government is looking at a new approach to area SEND Inspections from 2023. 

This consultation seeks your views on proposed changes to the way Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) jointly inspect local area partnerships to assess how they work together to improve the experiences and outcomes of children and young people who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They want to hear from children and young people who have SEND, and their parents and carers.

You can access the consultation, including an Easy Read document and a version of the consultation designed for young people, on the government's website

This consultation closes at 11:45pm on 11 September 2022.
