Written Statement of Action (WSoA) Virtual Listening Event - Outcome
25th May 2023
Following RMBCs Written Statement of Action in July 2021 RPCF have been working in Partnership with services, to help to shape change within the four areas of concern. In this session senior leads from RMBC responded to concerns and issues raised by our members and what measures have been put in place moving forward to improve the four areas of concern.
The four area which required improvement were:
◼The variability in the quality of EHC plans, including the contribution of health and social care partners.
◼The effectiveness of the graduated response to identify and meet children and young people’s needs, especially in key stages 1 and 2.
◼The quality of provision for children and young people’s preparation for, and transition to, adulthood.
◼Communication with all parents and carers of children and young people with SEND about the local offer, and the accessibility of the very valuable information included within the local offer.
RMBC highlighted the work they have already done to make improvements throughout the four areas and their continued commitment to ensure that quality standards and high quality training of staff will be ongoing.
The Local Offer has had an overhaul and is more user friendly and easier to navigate, with a search function added.
