  • A Review of Short Breaks Within Children's Services
    A review of Short Breaks within Children’s Services Short breaks is a term used to describe a group of services that includes overnight and daytime respite, approved carers and specialist after school clubs, holiday clubs and play schemes. June 2016 1 | P a g e Contents Introduction 3 Co-production 3 Purpose of the Focus Groups 3 Legislation 4 Process 5 Findings 7 Impact on Family Life 9 Early Intervention 9 Universal Services 10 Parent carer concerns regarding Local Authority practice 11 Conclusions 13 Addendum 14 2 | P a g e Introduction SNAP - The Special Needs Action Panel – your local parent carer forum, is an independent group of parent carers whose role is to ensure the voice of families of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities 0 to 25 years is heard. We work with health, education, social care and other agencies to promote effective two way communication and partnership and co-produce services. SNAP brings a valuable independent perspective and constructive challenge to the future planning of services. Co-production Co-production happens when service providers and service users recognise the benefits of working in true partnership with each other. This process is adopted ‘from the start’, when planning, developing, implementing or reviewing a service. It means that all the right people are around the table right from the beginning of an idea, and that they are involved equally to: Shape, design, develop, implement, and review services. Make recommendations, plans, actions, and develop materials. Work together right from the start of the process, through to the end.

  • Consultation Document
    …on changes to Special Schools and Additional Resource Provisions within mainstream schools This consultation is open from February 3, 2021, to May 5, 2021. You can have your say online at www.schoolsforthefuture.co.uk/SEND Introduction This consultation is about how we propose to provide more school places for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in both mainstream schools and specialist provision that meets the needs of the young people in Central Bedfordshire in the future. We expect the number of local residents in Central Bedfordshire to grow in the coming years, with around 43,000 new homes expected to be built by 2035 – and that means more SEND school places will be needed. Because of the changes, local schools have been working together, with Central Bedfordshire Council, on the ambitious Schools for the Future programme, which is a long-term plan to raise education standards and make sure we have: • The right schools • In the right places • Delivering the best education Through this, we will aim to ensure that the following outcomes are achieved: • Health – children and young people with SEND will be as healthy as possible • Wellbeing – the wellbeing of children and young people with SEND will be optimised • Aspiration – children and young people with SEND will learn and develop to the best of their ability • Independence – children and young people with SEND will be enabled to reach their potential • Involvement – children and young people with SEND and their families will be able to influence their services This consultation is in the following parts: Part 1: Central Bedfordshire’s 132 mainstream schools all support children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

    BUSINESS Better together.

Global. Voice. Discover more at www.chamber-business.com Welcome Welcome to the first edition of Focus for 2019 While I promised myself I wouldn’t mention the dreaded B-word, it’s something that’s impossible to avoid. So, let’s make this as brief as possible. The preceding months have been fraught with political infighting, frustrating showmanship, and a lack of clarity surrounding our trading relationships with the EU. Brexit, in all its glory, is threatening business sentiment and, as a result, current investment and employment plans. The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) – with your input – has been working tirelessly on behalf of its members to influence the Government into providing clear and honest answers to our practical questions; those needed to plan and prepare for any of the potential eventualities. However, at the time of writing this, it seems we’re no closer to finding out which outcome that might BUSINESS be and what that will look like. Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce has strived to provide members with useful and applicable information. If you haven’t already downloaded our resources, you will find our Business Brexit Checklist and Risk Register at focus www.chamber-business.com/documents. Official Magazine of Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce Now that’s out of the way, we can get back to the primary focus of CHAMBER this magazine: skills.
