SEND and Inclusion

In Doncaster, children and young people who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, will have the best possible start in life, and as they grow up, they will have prompt access to reliable local, high-quality education, health and care services.

We aim to be the most child friendly borough in the country. Our ambition is to provide the best possible support for our children and young people to plan for and achieve fulfilling lives, with bold reforms that will broaden their own individual ambitions and horizons. For children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities there are additional imperatives which must drive our ambition for them to achieve fulfilling lives; in particular, the timeliness and sophistication of identification and assessment of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and the effectiveness and efficiency of collaborative planning, involves the right people at the right time in the delivery and review of the impact of this support.
