Area SEND Inspection

We wanted to let you know that this morning Wirral Council received a phone call to let us us know that Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are going to carry out an inspection of the services on Wirral that support children and young people with SEND.

The inspection will take place over the next three weeks and it will not affect any of the SEND services that families rely on across Wirral.

As part of their process, they ask us to circulate a survey, to capture the views of children and young people, parents and carers and practitioners in relation to their experiences.
