Following the 2019 Inspection of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services in York, Ofsted and the CQC have highlighted the progress made in supporting children and young people in York with SEND.
A team from Ofsted re-assessed the support provided by City of York Council and York Health and Care Partnership in November 2022, following an earlier inspection in 2019 which found significant areas of weakness.
Inspectors spoke to children and young people with SEND, parents and carers, and local authority and National Health Service officers. The inspectors found that progress had been made in each of the key areas assessed.
They particularly highlighted the strength of York’s co-production, how services are developed working with children, young people, parents and professionals, and the work to support local needs via the Early Talk for York communication and language programme and new Autism Hub.
