Recommendation 4 update
Recommendation 4:
Local area partnership leaders should ensure that they share accurate data across health, education and social care to support rigorous and effective self-evaluation and inform joint commissioning.
What we wanted:
Joint data dashboards.
What we did:
- The Mid and South Essex (MSE) Business Intelligence team have developed an initial version of a SEND dashboard covering a variety of health metrics sourced from various partner organisations
- Internal Southend-on-Sea City Council (SCC) SEND reporting now includes new functionality and interactivity for further insight on key education metrics and demographics of the EHC plans maintained by Southend-on-Sea
- Individual teams and services routinely report data on caseload and activity through operational meetings for scrutiny and challenge
- The publicly available SEND Profile Data Tool has been updated to include 2024 outcomes from the school census and SEN2 data collections
- The co-production of a SEND Joint Strategic Needs Assessment is almost complete
The difference it made:
There is greater understanding across the Partnership on the impact of service delivery and identified risks and challenges.
Priority 2024-25:
To create an Area Partnership Outcomes Framework and key metrics to complete a joint data dashboard that will inform wider commissioning and delivery priorities.
