Decision
Doncaster City Council, in collaboration with the Integrated Care Board (ICB), is seeking to recommission its jointly commissioned in-house Special Educational Needs and Disability Information, Advice and Support (SENDIAS) service.
Alternative options considered
The decision to retain SENDIAS in-house provides the City of Doncaster Council with greater assurance of statutory compliance, improved integration across SEND services, strengthened operational independence through robust governance, and better financial and workforce stability. This model offers the flexibility needed to
respond to rising demand while maintaining high-quality, impartial support for children, young people, and families.
