SEND Quality Assurance Framework (July 2025) is a document developed by the Wolverhampton SEND and Inclusion Partnership. It outlines how services for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are monitored, evaluated, and improved across education, health, and social care. The aim is to ensure that all children and young people with SEND receive high-quality, consistent support that helps them thrive and reach their full potential.

For parents and carers, this framework is a reassurance that the services supporting their children are being held to high standards. It shows that feedback from families is actively sought and used to shape improvements.

The framework promotes working together—between professionals and families—to make sure that support is joined-up, effective, and focused on what matters most to children and young people. It also highlights the importance of listening to the voices of children, young people, and their families in shaping services and making sure they are truly inclusive and responsive to individual needs.

Quality assurance is ongoing and findings are fed back to Wolverhampton SEND & Inclusion Partnership Board.

Any comments, contributions or queries regarding quality assurance in SEND are welcome and you can email SENDQA@wolverhampton.gov.uk
