Torbay has co-produced a vision for SEND within the local area:

SEND is everybody’s business – embedding the vision and values into the practice of everyone who works with children and families from 0-25
Identify and respond to needs early – in ways that value lived experience and expertise and offers personalised care and support.
Deliver in the right place at the right time – always asking ‘so what difference are we making in the life of children or young people’?
