Additional Needs Strategy
In Solihull we believe that every child and young person matters, and matters equally. We know that many children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or additional needs may need more support in their life. We have therefore been working with them, their parent carers, and those who support them to write our first Additional Needs Strategy which was launched in January 2022. An Easy Read version is also available.

The Additional Needs Strategy underpins all of this strategic work so our aim has been to work with children, young people and parent carers to write this strategy in a different way. A way which is more user friendly for anyone to read and written directly to the children and young people whose lives we are working to improve.
We want them to easily know what they can expect of professionals working with them so they are empowered to challenge us if they need to. We also want them to understand this document and to know what changes they should see being made around them, so they can help us review how effective this has been.
As we consider the impact of the second year of this strategy we are keen to hear what parent carers and children and young people think.
