It is really good to know how the services have now formally joined
up, which would make dealing with, reporting etc. much more effective
when we do need it.

Quote Multi agency: The course gave me an insight into the SEND
code of Practice; it was interesting to note the similarities with the Care Act 2014 and gave me an insight to developments in children’s services

Pilot Inspection June 2015• Full inspection: developing the process for the framework
• The Pilot Inspection raised the profile of the SEND Reforms within Calderdale and held the LA and partners to account
• It provided an informed and independent view of the progress we have made along with detailed re: areas for development.
• None of the areas for further development came as a shock, confirming the accuracy of our self-evaluation process
• Calderdale feels in a stronger placed for future inspections

Inspection Information• Inspection team included an Ofsted HMI, a CQC inspector and a Local
Authority inspector

Preparing for the Pilot Inspection
• We had set up a SEND Accountability Group following the publication of the Special Educational Needs and Disability: supporting local & national accountability (March 2015).
• Because it was a pilot inspection, we received some additional notice, and strategic meetings were already in place as for any inspection
• However, the majority of the information about this inspection was only available on the Thursday before.
• Treated the pilot inspection as a full inspection

Making Arrangements
• Email explaining the inspection sent out
• Friday lunchtime drop In for colleagues and partners to find out information and ask questions. Feedback from this was positive.
• Initial contact with “visit” settings via telephone, followed up with an email confirming details and attaching the Inspectors’ letters.
• Draft timetable circulated to help with organisation of visits. Meeting appointments were sent out
• Collated documents / timetable were circulated - sharepoint

Challenges with Arrangements• Knowing what the focus would be
• Timetabling; visits / meetings, short notice
• Inspectors letters for visits / parents; timing and text
• Webinar; circulating info and facilitating access
• Preparing documents; before and during, Share Point

Local Area: Lessons Learned• Prepare and plan to ensure active involvement by
Health and frontline staff.• Devise a draft timetable and keep lists of who will do
what and when. Notify key partners asap and confirm when agreed
• Provide regular pre-inspection briefings for key staff, teams, partners and settings about what to expect
• Keep all relevant documents up-to-date and accessible
• Know the inspection framework (when we get it!)
