Chris McLoughlin OBE and Philippa Johnson
Co-chairs of the SEND Board
"We are delighted to present the Stockport SEND Strategy which outlines our approach to support children and young people with SEND to achieve and their families to thrive over the next 3 years. As leaders in the field of education, health and care, we recognise the importance of collaborative efforts to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all children and young people.
"We are committed to offering sufficient and appropriate provision within the community. Whether it’s educational support, health services, or emotional wellbeing, we want to ensure that families can access what they need close to home through neighbourhood and prevention. We actively collaborate as a system of early years providers, schools, colleges, health, education and care professionals to support every child and young person with SEND to achieve success in all areas of life. We work with parents and carers, listening to lived experience to shape our evolving services and will continue to learn from what they tell us and ensure their voices influence our work and developments going forwards."
