Issue details
Developing a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Family Hub
Purpose of Report: The report seeks approval to create a SEND
Family Hub within one of our existing Family Hubs. We have
identified that the Clifton Family Hub presents the greatest
opportunity to deliver the SEND hub.
Developing a multi-agency hub of services to support children and
young people with additional needs makes strategic and practical
sense, primarily due to the benefits of integrated working. By
bringing together professionals from education, health, and social
care under one roof, the hub puts trust, relationships and seamless
support at the heart of how we work together.
The Executive will be asked to: Approve plans to develop a SEND
Family Hub within one of our existing Family Hub sites.

Consultation process
Co-Production will be at the heart of developing a SEND Family Hub. We have had initial conversations with key partners and forums representing families with SEND children and young people. The Parent Carer Forum has provided a letter of support outlining the reasons why they feel a SEND Family Hub is needed and the difference they hope this could make. A copy of the letter of support is provided in Annex B to the report.
