We have been informed that Ofsted and CQC will be carrying out a SEND Local Area Inspection within Redbridge next week, Monday 11th June until Friday 15th June. They will be inspecting the local authority and health services in regards to the implementation of the SEND reforms since September 2014. They will be looking at two key areas:
• How well the local area identifies and assesses the needs of children and young people who have special educational needs and/or disabilities
• How well it meets the needs of these children and young people so that their outcomes and chances of participating fully in society improve.
They are keen to hear parents/carers views and experiences and Brian Oppenheim, Her Majesty’s Inspector, will be holding a webinar on Friday 8th June at 10am to give parents/carers the opportunity to talk to them about how effective the London Borough of Redbridge has been in the two key areas.
You can register for the webinar at http://bit.ly/RedbridgeLASEND
In order for as many parents to take part as possible, there will be access to the webinar at
Redbridge Drama Centre, Churchfields, South Woodford. E18 2RB
Should you not have internet access at home or would prefer to talk as part of a group.
Please can you arrive at the centre by 9.45 so that we can get everyone in the room in time. RIASS will not be sitting in on the webinar to enable you to be open and honest with the inspector and to maintain your confidentiality. Empowering Parents Together (EPT), the parent carer forum in Redbridge, will have representatives at the webinar and will be joint hosting with RIASS. You are welcome to bring your own devices to connect to webinar, but you must have preregistered with the link above in order to do this.
