Welcome to the SE7 Pathfinder website. What will the Pathfinders be doing? The pathfinders will all test some core elements of reform, including:- a single education, health and care plan from birth to 25 years old, focusing on whether outcomes for disabled children and their parents have been improved
- personal budgets for parents of disabled children and those with SEN so they can choose which services best suit the needs of their children
- strong partnership between all local services and agencies working together to help disabled children and those with SEN
- improved commissioning, particularly through links to health reforms
- the role of voluntary and community sector organisations and parents in a new system
- the cost of reform.
Pathfinders will also test some optional elements, including: - whether a national funding framework would help parents understand what level of funding is available to support their child’s needs
- better support to help parents through the process
- support to vulnerable children through the new process
- and the impact of reforms on children aged 16 to 25, or children in the early years
