In this way young people and parent carers can be more authentically involved in process of transformation to improve the experiences of, and outcomes for, children and young people with SEND and their families within their area. More honest, open communication between a whole community of partners can be generated. However, further collaboration will always be needed to carry the momentum forward, as well as firm commitment from strategic leadership to genuinely invest in this way of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Devon, 78 participants attended the Cornerstones event including representatives from the following key groups: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>young people (12) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>parent carers including PCFD (17)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>schools and settings (13)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DCC &#8211; Education and Care (26)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health (9)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voluntary and Community Sector including providers (1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Devon leaders supporting and\/or co-facilitating the event<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Donna Manson &#8211; DCC Chief Executive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kellie Knott \u2013 DCC SEND Strategic Director<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sarah Lord \u2013 DCC Four Cornerstones Partner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Victoria Mitchell \u2013 Co-chair PCFD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Planning and coordination<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shayna Stanbury &#8211; Project Officer\/SEND Programme Officer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"583\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2026\/01\/Four-Cornerstone-event-activities1.png\" alt=\"A group of young people and adults sitting at a table working together on an activity.\" class=\"wp-image-72992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2026\/01\/Four-Cornerstone-event-activities1.png 583w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2026\/01\/Four-Cornerstone-event-activities1-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"516\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2026\/01\/Four-Cornerstone-event-activity-21.png\" alt=\"A group of adults standing around a table, carrying out a group activity.\" class=\"wp-image-72996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2026\/01\/Four-Cornerstone-event-activity-21.png 516w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2026\/01\/Four-Cornerstone-event-activity-21-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devon Cornerstones event 24 June 2025 By inviting young people and parent carers as well as key practitioners from Education, Health and Social Care to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1801,"featured_media":0,"parent":72630,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-72655","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-31 18:31:40","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1801"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72655"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72997,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72655\/revisions\/72997"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/children-families-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
