Consultation process
Extensive consultation was undertaken during
the development of the original plan, and this revised plan does
not fundamentally change the agreed approach. Therefore a limited
consultation was undertaken with schools and with parent carers,
and ongoing consultation is being conducted through the SEND
Transformation Stakeholder Reference Panel.
