26 June 2023 – Area SEND Inspection

Ofsted and CQC are currently inspecting Hertfordshire’s provision for children and young people with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities). As part of their work, they are keen to hear directly from children and young people (aged 11-25), their parents and carers, and the practitioners who work with them.

Learn more about the inspection and how you can have your say
