Other reasons / organisations consulted

The rationale for this proposal has been informed as part of wider service developments for children and young people with SEND.  All participation and consultation forums with key stakeholders such as children and families, schools, CCGs, adult services, CAMHS and LCHCT have identified this issue as a critical gap in service. 

Specific focus has been given to this issue at the Transforming Care Partnership Board and the recent multi-agency consultation for feedback to the recent Lenehan report, “These are Our Children”.

The development of the proposal has been overseen by the multi-agency Learning Disability Behaviour Support Group chaired by the Head of Complex Needs, Barbara Newton which has been operational for four years.  This group includes representatives from those key stakeholders.
