The SEND Strategic Partnership Board replaces the SEND Improvement Partnership board. This multi-agency strategic board holds the partnership accountable for the delivery of the SEND transformation programme.
Read more about this Board, its membership and its remit here.
The SEND Transformation Programme Board is responsible for overseeing programme delivery against milestones and plans, managing risks and issues, and progress against key performance indicators and savings targets. It reports, and escalates issues, to the SEND Strategic Partnership Board.
Each of the seven work strands within the transformation programme will have project management meetings that report into, and escalate issues to, the SEND Transformation Programme Board.
The SEND Boards and work strand meetings will also report to, and escalate issues to, relevant meetings within the partners. For example, Devon County Council’s SEND Quality Performance and Review meeting (QPRM) will bring together DCC services who support children and young people with SEND to improve how they work together for a common purpose and tackle the issues arising from the project delivery work.
See the diagram for the relationships between the different boards and meetings.
