Latest inspection: March 2025

This report sets out the findings of the Area SEND inspection of the Torbay Local Area Partnership, carried out in March 2025. Following this, we developed our Priority Action Plan. Progress is monitored through our Local Area Improvement Partnership

We are committed to addressing these challenges locally, but meaningful and lasting improvements require systemic reform at the national level.

What we are doing well

• Our early years support through our Family Hubs and the Healthy Child programme
• The work of our Mental Health in Schools team
• The strength of our neurodiversity support programme – co-produced with families and health professionals
• Our key worker service for young people with autism and learning difficulties
• Our school nursing teams

We are committed to ongoing improvement across all SEND provision and will continue to work with parents, carers and practitioners to develop and strengthen it.

Our priority remains the wellbeing and success of our children and young people.
