The Interim Deputy Director of Children’s Services at Wirral Council presented her report which provided an update on progress of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Transformation Programme and details of the Priority Plan 2023 for the SEND transformation Programme. It was noted that there had been a 40% increase in the number of children involved but there had been increases in the volume and speed of assessments.

The implications of 40% more children moving through the system were highlighted as planning was required to have resources to support them in the future as adults.

Resolved: That the report and progress made be noted, and the Priority Plan 2023 be supported.
