Action for Inclusion: SEN and School Improvement
From January 1 2006 Derby City Council became a Children’s Services Authority - working with partner organisations for effective joint working to make sure children and young people are supported. Derby Children and Young People’s Partnership has been formed to improve the lives of children and young people in the city. It has a commitment to:
Building a brighter future for children and young people that provides a healthy, safe and happy childhood, with the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
When services work together to create packages of care that are centred on children and families, the conditions for all children to achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes.
- Being healthy: enjoying good physical and mental health and living a healthy life style
- Staying Safe: being protected from harm and neglect
- Enjoying and Achieving: getting the most out of learning and life, and developing skills for adulthood
- Making a positive contribution: beinginvolved in community and society and not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour
- Economic well being: not being prevented by economic disadvantage from achieving their potential
Children and young people learn and thrive when they are healthy, safe and engaged; and the evidence shows clearly that educational achievement is the most effective route out of poverty.
The Every Child Matters: Change for Children has created a new climate for the care of children and young people with special educational needs. The emphasis is on
- integrating services better around children and young people
- early identification and effective support for children with additional needs
- participation by children and young people themselves.
These are underpinned by new working practices and tools, such as the Common Assessment Framework.
