Lee Barron has brought together members of the Northamptonshire SEND community to find what he calls ‘real solutions to a real problem.’

The special round table session took place at the Holiday Inn in Corby and included parents, advocates, education professionals spanning Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Post 16 providers, Post 18 employment, North Northamptonshire Council, Educational Psychologists, Occupational therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Charities and Teacher and Education representatives.

He made clear his commitment to the issue and wanting to empower those from the SEND community to influence Government policy.

The influential Parliamentary Education Select Committee launched a major new inquiry focused on finding solutions to the crisis in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision

That is why Lee is bringing together this important group of people. That is why the submission to this inquiry has been one that is community and professional led.

The round table considered key questions including support for children and young people with SEND, current and future SEND needs the current and future model of SEND provision, Finance, funding and capacity of SEND provision and the accountability and inspection of SEND provision.
