York's Model of Joint Partnership working (co-production)

Our vision is to create an open, honest and well – communicated city. A city where all families of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities will be able to say:

• I am consistently communicated with in a way that is accessible and appropriate for our needs
• I know about the changes to SEND services in York
• I know how to be involved in the process of service development and delivery
• My own and my family’s voices are heard

The 7 Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Outcomes supports this model, whereby we will focus on children and young people having a voice and being heard.

The 7 SEND Outcomes are:

1. I am healthy
2. I have a choice and am heard
3. I am safe
4. I achieve my goals
5. I am included
6. I can overcome challenges and difficulties on my own or with support
7. I am becoming independent
