Ofsted and local authority SEN services

On 7 January 2014, in the House of Lords, Lord Nash made reference to an OFSTED study into local authority specialist services to investigate how children and young people with SEN have their needs identified.

Ofsted offers a potentially crucial form of oversight of LA practices and services so the Educational Rights Alliance has written formally to the head of  Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw to ask about the scope of this study and to offer to participate.
