Working together

We work with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families, to shape the future of the service and make sure the local offer continues to work for families across Devon.

How we work with children and young people with SEND and their families

We will:

listen, hear their views and try to understand what is behind the challenges they face
work together effectively as the best way to provide the right support, in the right place and at the right time
work with the whole family to support them to find their own solutions and build on their strengths
base our support around their community and provide the help they need as early as possible
