At Whole School SEND we recognise that understanding the local context is crucial to improving national SEND provision. Each region has a Regional SEND team, formed from school-based SEND practitioners, to support prioritisation of SEND across the region. Regional pages will also bring together information and research about your region, SEND resources, and contact details for specialists and SEND organisations.

The Regional SEND Leadership team in the North West work to promote and celebrate the effective and exciting SEND practice across our region.

From the densely populated major city of Birmingham, to the rural areas of Shropshire and Herefordshire, the West Midlands is a diverse region. Through our work so far, it is clear that there is a dedication to improve outcomes for learners with SEND across our region from families, schools, and professionals. We aim to build on existing effective practice for our population of pupils with SEND so that children experience success in their learning and parental confidence improves.

As a regional team, we work with school-based professionals, Local Authorities, Teaching School Hubs and Multi-Academy Trusts to support the prioritisation of SEND within professional development and school improvement plans. There is already a great deal of expertise in schools across the region; our goal is to unlock this expertise and share it for the benefit of children and young people, families and professionals. Through our monthly newsletters, we share best practice, including signposting members to CPD, sharing newly developed resources and highlighting regional SEND initiatives.

Our East Midlands SEND leaders are passionate about supporting all provision across the region to be ambitious, aspirational and inclusive by design.
