MP to press for more support after report details bay's SEND failings
July 02, 2025
|Herald Express
TORBAY'S MP is to press the Government for support after the bay's services to some of its most vulnerable children were criticised in an official report.
Torbay Council and NHS Devon both say “systemic reform” at national level is needed.
The report from the watchdog Ofsted says there are “widespread failings” in Torbay’s services to children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Ofsted says too many children and young people with SEND issues have to wait too long for their needs to be assessed, and the people in charge do not always understand the priorities of their service.
Leaders have not addressed major weaknesses highlighted at a previous inspection in 2021.
Ofsted says the failings have led to poor communication with families.
