8. Priorities

Through co-production we have identified five priorities that are important to children and young people, their families, and the staff who support the SEND journey.

The Lancashire SEND Partnership aims to achieve specific benefits for children and young people with SEND through working on these priorities, described below.

In delivering these priorities, we will ensure we identify, assess and meet needs, and improve outcomes through all that we do.

  • Improving the child or young person’s journey - Families understand what is happening, when it is happening, and what that means for them. Staff support families on the journey, and know where they fit in alongside other services and other sectors.
  • Preparation for the adulthood that the child or young person and their family wants for them – children and young people access opportunities right for them and their needs.
  • Accessible services delivering what is needed, when it is needed – services are available and deliver what children and young people with SEND need.
  • Listening and talking to each other – it is important that we all have greater understanding of what is happening, what needs to happen, and what changes need to be made for the child or young person, for families, and for staff. We all need to talk to and listen to each other.
  • Taking ownership of any mistakes and putting them right at pace – families need to be able to trust the staff they encounter on the SEND journey, and know that any mistakes will be resolved at pace. Staff need to know they are supported.
