SEND and Inclusion Strategy

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Inclusion Strategy In West Sussex

During 2026

In March, we launched the West Sussex SEND Strategy 2026 to 2030.

During 2025

We are updating our SEND & Inclusion Strategy with a wide range of stakeholders and continue to work on our SEND Improvement Plan.

During 2024

Ofsted and the CQC have published their report (which was embargoed until 29 February) following the area SEND inspection for West Sussex Local Area Partnership. It concluded on 1 December 2023 and gives the middle rating for delivery, planning and commissioning of services. Read the full report on the Ofsted website.

During 2023

We developed a new SEND and Alternative Provision (AP) improvement plan with six partner working groups that will report into the SEND and AP Strategy and Partnership Board. We have created a web page for the SEND Improvement Plan highlighting the six areas of work.
