Three strategies have been launched by North East Lincolnshire Council, setting out how the local authority will support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
The documents outline how the Council will develop quality spaces and the right levels of support to meet the growing demand and needs of children in our area. Unveiled at the SEND Awards on Tuesday 9th July at Grimsby Town Hall, the strategies feature artwork from children in local schools.
Councillor Philip Jackson, Leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, attended the SEND Awards. Cllr Jackson said: “These strategies underpin our desire for every child in North East Lincolnshire to be able to access suitable education provision right here, without having to travel out of the area.
“I know a lot of work has gone into developing these strategies and I’d like to extend my thanks to Council officers for their work.” Speaking about the strategies, Director of Children’s Services at North East Lincolnshire Council, Ann-Marie Matson, said: “These documents have been many months in the making.
“They set out how we will continue to work hard to support our children and young people, and especially those who have special educational needs and disabilities. Our ambition is to ensure that all of our children have the opportunity to live and learn in their hometown.”
The strategies are now featured on the Council’s website at: www.nelincs.gov.uk.
