Alternative options considered

Alternative options
1.            
There are no alterative options. The local area
partnership’s arrangements have been judged by Ofsted and the
CQC as leading to inconsistent experiences and outcomes for
children and young people with special educational needs and/or
disabilities (SEND). The local area partnership must work jointly
to make improvements. The next full area SEND inspection will be
within approximately three years.
