An inspection found 'widespread failings'
A senior Nottinghamshire county councillor is resisting calls to resign after an inspection found "widespread failings" in services for those with special educational needs and disabilities . A joint inspection by Ofsted and the CQC, carried out in February, found that children and young people were waiting too long to be assessed and that there was a lack of confidence among some about being prepared for adult life.
"Families have been telling us that they are feeling exhausted and often that can turn into despair. If they have got a child whose needs are not being met, that can escalate into a crisis of them being out of school and then parents not being able to go to work. Labour's Councillor Michelle Welsh, the Shadow Cabinet Lead for Children and Young People's Services at Nottinghamshire County Council, said in a statement: "At the children's scrutiny meeting last December, we were given a report which clearly showed that the council was not delivering for SEND families.
"The Labour Group are calling on Councillor Taylor in her leadership position as cabinet member to back Labour's call for the Government to do more to ensure the council can support all SEND families and if she is unwilling to do that, to reconsider her position."
