Please see letter and press statement below from Public Health England.
Following the Local Area inspection of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Inspection by Ofsted and Care Quality Commission in October 2017 the attached letter identifies strengths and areas for improvement. This is a narrative judgement, there is no overall judgement. The local authority has not been asked to produce a written statement of action.
However, an action plan is being written to address issues and the SEND Board met on 10 January to develop this further. Louise Minter is the SSSAB representative on the Board. I will ensure that the action plan is shared once completed.
Thank you for your support during the inspection, especially those schools visited by inspectors, and for the commitment you have to meeting the additional needs of our children and young people.

The new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) has a requirement for public authorities, including schools and academies, to have a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Some guidance on this has already been sent out but we have now had more time to consider a solution for schools and would like to suggest another potential option for meeting this requirement, in addition to those already suggested.
The SSSAB School Improvement Group is exploring the possibility of establishing an English Forum Group and a quick survey has been developed to establish the needs of Solihull schools in this subject. Input from as many schools as possible would be very much appreciated.
