Dear Michael and Tricia
Accelerated Progress Plan following OFSTED and CQC's Local Area SEND Revisit
We would like to thank you and your partners for your Accelerated Progress Plan (APP). We have reviewed the APP with the SEND and NHS England Advisers and have concluded that it sets out how you will tackle the remaining areas of weakness identified during your revisit and has been deemed fit for purpose.
As set out in the revised Ofsted framework, we expect your plan to be published locally so that children, young people and families can understand the actions you are taking.
Your six-month review meeting to assess progress against the action plan will take place in May 2022. Corrina Bielby, your DfE Case Lead, will be in touch to finalise arrangements. For the six-month review, we will need to see documentary evidence two weeks in advance of the meeting and will email nearer the time to set out what you should provide.
I am copying this letter to your SEND and NHSE Advisers, and to your DfE Case Lead.
Yours sincerely,
Sharon Thornton
