Wolverhampton 'continues to demonstrate strong leadership and governance arrangements for the improvement of services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities' (SEND). SEND is 'very much embedded in a vision for Wolverhampton as an inclusive city where all children and young people can thrive and are respected'.

The key points mentioned during the meeting in April 2024 are:

• Partners 'continue to make sustainable progress' against the activities outlined in the Written Statement of Action, and that this work 'is having a positive impact.'
• Clear and sustained progress had been made to address the below 2 points, which will no longer need to be monitored going forward.
  • implementing strategically planned co-production at every level
  • planning and support of transitions within school age, to 19 and to 25
• The review team were particularly grateful for the contributions from Voice for Parents, our Parent Carer Forum, and from HY5!, our youth forum, whose feedback demonstrates that co-production has improved significantly and is now a strength in Wolverhampton.
