Key Focus Areas:

We’re excited to share that The Clifton Hub is being developed into the new flagship hub for SEND. This will be a dedicated space where families and professionals can access information, signposting, and support to better understand the services available for children and young people with additional needs. The SEND Family Hub Manager will provide insights into the planning process and seek your feedback and contributions to ensure the hub meets the community's needs.

In addition to the hub development, our strategy workshop will dive into the current SEND priorities and help us focus on the top key areas to address in our shared action plan. We will also take time to review how we measure progress and evaluate the impact of our efforts, ensuring that we are making a tangible difference for SEND families in York.
