Survey of familes of those with special edcational needs and disabilities in Somerset.

Somerset families have been affected by the failures of Somerset County Council and Somerset CCG as identified in the OFSTED and CQC local area inspection report. The report in may highlighted.

Leaders from education, health and care services have been distracted by their individual challenges. This means there has been little effort to work together to implement the reforms until very recently. Consequently, there are widespread weaknesses in the identification and meeting of children’s and young people’s needs. Their outcomes, and those of their families, are not being consistently improved.”
