Answer
Our promise to families is that we are absolutely committed to improving the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system and regaining their confidence.
The department and NHS England have systems in place to support and challenge local areas across Berkshire, to ensure children and young people with SEND have the best possible outcomes.
Where a council does not meet its duties, the department can take action that prioritises children’s needs and supports local areas to bring about rapid improvement. We continue to offer a range of universal, targeted and intensive support through the department’s managed programmes.
