Specialist health roles in SEND
Working with children, young people, parents and carers
The voices of parents and carers, children and young people, and other practitioners are heard through:
- individual appointments (Designated Medical Officer and the Clinical Lead)
- bi-monthly SEND Health Café meetings (a meeting of health SEND leads across local health care, chaired by the Designated Clinical Officer)
- monthly intelligence sharing meetings, where SENDIASS report on individual concerns from parents and emerging themes for commissioners to address (Designated Clinical Officer and the Clinical Lead)
- attending SEND panel (Designated Clinical Officer and the Clinical Lead)
This information is fed back to commissioners, service leads and governance boards to make sure the needs of parents and carers, children and young people, and other practitioners are heard.
