Thank you for the responses and comments we have had so far from schools regarding the SEND consultation about the specialist teaching and support services, and to those of you who have been able to attend or send staff to the consultation events.  This consultation closes on 28 February and I wanted to draw your attention to this so you were able to respond if you have not been able to so far.  Here is the link to the Executive report , the presentation and the consultation webpage - https://www.bradford.gov.uk/consultations/current-consultations/consultation-and-engagement/

Part of the proposal is that the new Integrated 0-25 SEND service we are proposing will need to generate an income of 30% and the majority (70%) of the service will continue to be funded from the High Needs Block.  What we would find very useful as part of this consultation is to ask you – ‘What teaching and support specialist services in the proposals would you be interested in paying for?’

We would be very grateful if you are able to respond to this by emailing SENDconsultation@bradford.gov.uk  by the 28th February.
