Department for Education (DfE) Progress Review

The Department for Education met with senior leaders from Suffolk County Council and the NHS to review progress made against widescale improvement plans for special educational needs and disabilities services (SEND).

21 Nov 2024

Following the meeting, the government body sent a letter outlining progress made over the past six months. You can read the letter here.

The letter ‘welcomes the improvements and the evidence of impact’ and recognises ‘the considerable challenges that remain to reach the required targets’.

SEND services in Suffolk are delivered by the Local Area Partnership, made up of Suffolk County Council, the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board and the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board, with the support of schools and colleges.
