Operational Group 3: Skilled Settings 

Purpose

To strengthen the skills, confidence, and capacity of SEND professionals across all education settings, enabling them to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND more effectively. The group supports the delivery of Priority 3 of the SEND Strategy and contributes to key areas of the Safety Valve Agreement, including enhancing whole-school approaches to Autism, promoting early intervention, improving the graduated response, and developing a borough-wide SEND training hub.

Update

This group was established in September 2024 and is continuing to convene every six weeks throughout the academic year.
