All relevant partners in Cheshire East are committed to providing the best quality education 
and support for all children and young people to ensure they achieve the best possible outcomes.
The 0-25 SEND Partnership is a multi-agency partnership arrangement which leads and drives developments around support, processes and provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) aged 0-25 years in Cheshire East
Our vision
We want all our children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) to be HAPI:
- H - Happy and Healthy
- A - Achieving their potential
- P - Part of their communities
- I - Independent as possible, making choices about their future
The SEND Partnership includes representatives from the following organisations and groups:
The SEND strategy 2021 – 2024 was approved 8 November 2021. Due to significant changes within the national and local landscape for SEND it has been appropriate to refresh the strategy to reflect these changes. Following the review and refresh of the SEND strategy, 5 priority areas have been identified as our focus for action over the next 12/18 months.
The joint SEND strategy sets out what we want to achieve as a partnership for children and young people with SEND in Cheshire East, and the key actions that we will carry out to achieve our priorities.
We are committed to working in partnership when developing and shaping our services.
The 0-25 SEND Partnership structure includes:
- A clear governance structure to ensure scrutiny and accountability
- The SEND Partnership Board which is made up of senior representatives that drive and monitor the work of the Partnership in line with our joint SEND strategy.
- 5 multi-agency workstreams which each have a specific focus area in line with the priorities outlined in our refreshed SEND strategy. The workstreams carry out the work of the Partnership.
