Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director for Children’s Services.

The report provides an update on recent and planned support for SEND children, young people and families to access leisure and sports provision. It also outlines the developmental support to enable SEND families to be more active within their daily routines.

The Scrutiny Committee is asked to –

·         Note the report

·         Endorse the ongoing support to children and young people with SEND, and their families, to be more active and therefore also contribute to the wider Preparing for Adulthood core outcomes.

·         Endorse the proposed recommendations to both further improve the access to, and experience of, engagement and participation for children and young people with SEND.
