We ran our Co-production Workshop on the 14th November and were really pleased to have representatives from parents, commissioning, social care, (children's and adults), education and health. As one attendee commented at the end “If that's not a positive start (to coproduction) I'm not sure what is!". Using the output from that session along with feedback we had from parents for the Ofsted/CQC Inspection in March, the Co-production task & finish group which Sarah chairs, is now developing a Wokingham Co-production Charter for all partners to sign up to.

Thank you for continuing to share your experiences of the EHCP process. We ensure that these experiences are being used to inform task & finish groups 2 and 5 who are focusing on Timeliness & Quality of EHCPs and Multiagency Input into EHCPs.

We will update you on the December SEND Implementation Board meeting and how work is progressing across the 6 areas in the New Year. We will also have further details of our AGM which this year will include a presentation from the LA on the “Local Area Ofsted & CQC Inspection – 1 Year On". Provisional date for this is the evening of Wednesday 4th March 2020.
