Description

About the role

Cambridgeshire County Council is embarking upon a programme of change for services with the ambition to profoundly improve the outcomes and life experience of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

The SEND Transformation Programme will run for a minimum of two years and requires additional roles to fulfil the aims and objectives of the overall programme.

The overarching aims of the Programme can be summarised as follows:

Identify and respond to needs earlier to reduce the level of new demand for statutory support, an ambition set out in the SEND Strategy.
Focus on ensuring our work improves outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
Reduce the escalation of need so more children and young people are able to maintain placements within mainstream settings and those who do require specialist provision accessing this locally.
Take a system wide approach, ensuring our transformation plan is connected to the SEND Strategy and supports delivery of a shared ambition and collaborative working with partners and communities.

The System Leadership workstream forms part of the SEND Transformation Programme.

It will establish a network of system leader groups where SEND staff working within education settings and the local authority can access peer support and share best practice.

There will be a training programme to embed strengths based, child focussed approaches that will improve outcomes for children with SEND.
