'Widespread failings' are found in provision for children with special educational needs
The report said children in Nottinghamshire were waiting too long to access health services like speech and language therapyAn investigation into services for children with special educational needs and disabilities in Nottinghamshire has found "widespread failings".
The local area inspection by the education and health watchdogs found SEND children and young people had to wait too long to have their needs accurately assessed."Too many children and young people with SEND wait too long to access some health services such as speech and language therapy and neuro-developmental pathways," the report said.
An additional element was the transition to adult health services, where some people's care was based on "access to services rather than need", some saw health services stop entirely and others did not get clear advice on moving to the next stages of education.The partnership responsible for these services - Nottinghamshire County Council and the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board - has been given two areas for priority action by Ofsted and the CQC.
