SEND consultations, plans and news for professionals

The latest news for professionals, including plans and consultations for SEND.

SEND national news and consultations

The UK Government’s SEND and alternative provision green paper was published on 29 March 2022. It set out a vision for a single, national SEND and alternative provision (AP) system that will introduce new standards in the quality of support given to children across education, health and care.

The green paper is the result of the SEND Review, commissioned to improve the SEND system for parents, carers, children and young people.

Read the summary of the SEND review: ‘right support, right place, right time’ on the UK Government website.

Events and activities

Family grab packs

These grab packs are for parents and carers, children or young people to help them work through particular topics. Many also have a therapeutic content to them and they have been written by Educational Psychologists working with primary mental health workers and wellbeing facilitators.

If you have an account, you can access them from the North Yorkshire Children and Young People's Service website.

FUSE Online!

Have you ever attended FUSE – the drama workshops for young people with learning disabilities?

Pickering, Starbeck, Skipton and Tadcaster groups are now taking place virtually each week, with Scarborough hoping to recommence soon.

To re-join, please contact eve@ruralarts.org

If you have not attended before, but would like to join, please email Eve with a little bit about yourself and where you are based. We will work then work with the relevant group to see if there is capacity for you to join.
