Quality of practice framework

The Borough’s Children and Young People’s Plan 2024-2025 sets out our ambitions for all children and young people. This includes those with SEND, and their families. This Quality of Practice Framework will help us to understand the impact we are having and to see how far we are achieving those ambitions.

A safe life where:

• Children and young people are protected from harm;
• Children and young people live in safe communities;
• Children and young people are supported and cared for within their family and wider networks.

A happy life where:

• Children, young people, and their families are empowered to be resilient;
• Children and young people are happy in their schools and settings;
• Children, young people, and their families thrive. They have strong support networks and are connected to their communities

A healthy life where: 

• Children and young people experience better emotional health and wellbeing;
• Those who are neurodivergent live in inclusive communities where they feel comfortable;
• Children, young people and their families have the best start in life and have improved health outcomes;
• Children young people and families experience reduced health inequalities.

Achieve in life: 

• Children are ready for school;
