Councils across the region use SEND strategy, Local Plan consultation and shake-up pause to shape external pressures
Gloucestershire, Bath & North East Somerset and Stroud have each this month set out different ways of managing demands driven by SEND need, Government housing targets and a planned council shake-up.
Local authorities in Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, and Stroud have each this month set out ways of responding to pressures from outside their own control.
Gloucestershire County Council said its cabinet will be asked to approve a new five-year strategy to ensure families can access the right support, in the right place, at the right time, as demand for SEND provision continues to grow [1].
Stroud mayor Tony Davey said a pause in the council shake-up could offer a chance to get it right [3].
Taken together, the announcements show local councils using strategy, consultation and a pause to influence how externally driven changes are delivered.
