SEND Academy

About the SEND Academy

Our aim is to equip colleagues with the knowledge and skills to achieve the vision of the SEND Strategy.

In Hertfordshire, we want all children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities to be included and valued, so that they can live happy and fulfilling lives.

We will have services that will make a difference to families because they are joined up, inclusive, easy to access, close to home and adapt to meet individual’s needs.

Hertfordshire will be a county where we’re proud to say that SEND is everybody’s business.

Resources for parents, children and young people

The Hertfordshire SEND Local Offer

The Local Offer lets parents and young people know what special educational needs and disabilities services are available in Hertfordshire and who can access them.

SENDIASS

Hertfordshire SENDIASS provides information advice and support which is accurate and confidential in ways that are accessible for young people and parents. They aim to promote independence and self-advocacy to enable people to participate in making informed decisions.

Herts Parent Carer Involvement

HPCI is the parent carer forum for Hertfordshire. They work to make sure that local service providers know what families with children and young people with SEND need. They gather parent carer views and work in partnership to bring about positive change across health, education, and social care services.

Voices of Hertfordshire - Youtube

On this youtube channel, you will find inspiring stories from young people who share their experiences with disabilities and SEND. They talk about how they are included in school and the community, and how they are preparing for adulthood.
