SEND and Inclusion Strategy 2025 to 2030

The 4 strategic priorities of this strategy. These are:

1. Early support and inclusion
2. Education sufficiency
3. High support needs
4. Preparing for adulthood

These priorities were identified following a comprehensive review. The review covered the support provided for children and young people (CYP) with SEND across education, health and care.

A range of activities were completed to understand:

• the current and future context,
• levels of demand,
• local strengths and challenges,
• and the experiences of children, young people and their families.

Most significantly, these activities included:

1. Coproducing a self-evaluation of the Local Area.
2. Completing an extensive multi-agency deep dive, and auditing and forecasting activity as part of the Delivering Better Value Programme in Buckinghamshire.
3. Learning from the annual Parent/Carer survey facilitated by FACT Bucks Parent/Carer forum and benefitting from their ongoing contributions to strategic and operational changes.
4. Learning from young people through youth voice initiatives and ongoing feedback via Shout Out for SEND representatives and wider participation work across the partnership.
