The Area SEND Partnership would like to express our sincere thanks to all parents, carers, children and young people, and practitioners who contributed to the recent Area SEND Inspection.

Ofsted (the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) conducted an inspection of local area arrangements for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) from 15 June 2026 to 19 June 2026.

The Area SEND Partnership have written a letter of thanks to everyone who supported the inspection process.

Ofsted will publish the inspection outcome once their internal moderation process is complete. We expect to receive the report in the coming weeks and will share it as soon as it is available.
