In Plymouth, we believe in the power of inclusion - where every child, regardless of their background or needs, has the opportunity to thrive in education. The Graduated Approach is part of Plymouth City Council’s Local Offer.(https://www.plymouthonlinedirectory.com/plymouthlocaloffer/about) Plymouth’s ambitious new partnership and SEND strategy will ensure partners throughout the city work together to: • Quickly identify children and young people who are vulnerable and risk negative outcomes • Reduce the likelihood of pupils with additional needs being excluded from school • Ensure that children and young people with SEND who also have social care needs receive the care and support they need • Improve the consistency of support offered to children and young people in schools and settings • Provide all practitioners across social care, health, schools and settings, with the training they need to provide consistent education, care and support • Plan ahead, to ensure the right services and support are in place to meet the future needs of children in Plymouth.
