Stockton-on-Tees Local Area SEND and Alternative Provision Strategy Delivery Plan - November 2025 to December 2026
Introduction and governance
The Stockton-on-Tees Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision (AP) year one delivery plan has been developed following consultation with children, young people, parents and carers, and analysis of our data and intelligence through our Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and self-evaluation. The delivery plan outlines the actions that will deliver on our priority commitments for the first year of the strategy across four themes:
- being as healthy as possible
- family, friends and relationships
- getting ready for independence
- having good education and employment opportunities
Actions are numbered against the 4 overarching priorities of the strategy.
Governance
The action plan will be the central work programme for the SEND Operational Group, with oversight and scrutiny provided by the SEND Strategic Group for the local area.
The impact of the first year of the strategy delivery plan will be monitored through targets embedded into the Council SEND performance framework and through progress against indicators within the joint area scorecard.
