Decision:
That the progress on Statutory Assessment within the Inclusion Service be noted.
Minutes:
The Head of Inclusion Service introduced a report on progress of the Statutory Assessment element within the Inclusion Service. She provided background information and advised that adherence to Statutory Assessment timescales was monitored internally within the Education Improvement and Modernisation Strategy as detailed in the report. The performance data was collected and published nationally against the two outcomes also detailed in the report.
The Head of Service advised that Officers aimed to adhere to the 26 week timeline to support parents, children and young people. She reported that the Authority had maintained 100% success in terms of meeting the 26 week timeline where there were no permissible exceptions. Appeals to Special Education Needs Tribunal for Wales (SENTW) remained low which reflected Officer commitment to work collaboratively with parents and carers to achieve an appropriate outcome for children and young people.
RESOLVED:
That the progress on Statutory Assessment within the Inclusion Service be noted.
