SEND and Inclusion Strategy 2023-28
Following co-production workshops with over 300 stakeholders across Newham, we have now drafted our SEND & Inclusion Strategy 2023-2028.
The SEND and Inclusion Strategy has been informed by:
- Our local area partnership self-evaluation
- Ofsted/CQC local area inspection feedback (December 21)
- Our Newham SEND Commission Report
- Co-production workshops held from November 22- May 23
The strategy outlines how we plan to further develop the SEND system to improve outcomes for children and young people by focusing on five priority areas from early intervention to preparation for adulthood.
We would now like to invite you to provide your views on the strategy by completing the survey below:

The survey will be open for 6 weeks from the 16th June to 28th July 2023.
Thank you for your participation.

Phases
Co-production workshops
To produce this strategy, we brought together children and young people, their families and partners across education, health, and social care, alongside voluntary sector and community partners. We worked together to understand the lived experience and outcomes of our children, young people and their families of local services, and how we can collectively to make those experiences and outcomes better.
From November 2022 to May 2023, we ran a series of co-production workshops with a focus on developing the key priorities for the SEND System for the next 5 years. Through these workshops we also designed the SEND outcomes framework to enable us to monitor our impact on the daily lives of children and young people with SEND in the borough.
Thank you to all those who participated in the workshops including our:
- Children and young people with SEND
- Parents and Carers
- SENCOs
- School leaders
- Professional across health, social care and education
- Voluntary sector groups and providers
