York's Model of Joint Partnership working (co-production)

Our vision is to create an open, honest and well-communicated city. A city where all families of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) will be able to say:

• I am consistently communicated within a way that is accessible and appropriate for our needs
• I know about the changes to SEND services in York
• I know how to be involved in the process of service development and delivery
• my own and my family's voices are heard

This guidance is for all services who work with children, young people aged 0 to 25 and their families across the city of York.

The guidance should be used across the system when working with individual children, young people and their families in the development of their education, health and care plans and also when improving, developing or re-commissioning services.
