Answer

Structured engagement mechanisms, including working groups and feedback loops, have been established to ensure Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCos) insights inform the development and delivery of the model. The model will be subject to ongoing evaluation throughout the five-year SEND Transformation rollout, ensuring continuous improvement and that SENCo views remain central to its implementation.
