Accelerated Progress Plan

This Accelerated Progress Plan (APP) has been developed by the SEND Partnership and approved by the Department for Education, following the judgement by Ofsted/CQC that sufficient progress had not been made against the weaknesses outlined by the recent re-inspection. These pages summarise the three areas of work in the APP and will be updated as progress is made on each.

  • Neurodiversity (ND) workstream
  • Speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) workstream
  • Education, health and care plan quality

Other workstreams supporting the Accelerated Progress Plan

In addition to the Accelerated Progress Plan there are five further workstreams supporting the improvement of the SEND experience in Shropshire:

  • SEND and alternative provision
  • Preparation for adulthood
  • Local offer and communications
  • Emotional health and wellbeing groups
  • Joint commissioning

Shropshire Council and NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin are committed to working in partnership with the SEND Community and PACC to ensure that co-production happens at all levels, so that decision making is informed and shaped by experience and knowledge of SEND families.
