SEND local area inspections

In December 2024 Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) conducted an inspection of the Lancashire SEND Partnership support in Lancashire for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

The inspection team engaged with a range of children, parents, and representative groups, as well as practitioners and leaders in social care, education, and the NHS, to understand how we deliver support across the partnership.

Now the inspectors will write a report evaluating the impact of the local area partnership’s arrangements on the experiences and outcomes of children and young people with SEND.

You will be able to view the Ofsted inspection report when it is published on the Ofsted reports website.

The Local Area Partnership will then refresh and publish its strategic plan for the delivery and development of SEND services, taking into account the feedback we have received from inspectors.
