SEND Inspection and Evaluation Framework
The Additional Needs Strategy underpins all our strategic work.
Our aim has been to work with children, young people and parent carers to write this strategy in a different way. A way which is easy for anyone to read and written for the children and young people whose lives we're working to improve. Always holding them at the heart of all we do.
About this report
The regular practice of updating this self-evaluation document supports reflection of areas for development.
Partners learn from other areas and there is a willingness to be challenged (particularly through feedback from Solihull Parent Carer Voice and Our Voices Heard), to listen, respond and adapt.

Our Position review statement provides an update on the 2025/26 Self Evaluation Framework. This is measured against the SEND and AP inspection framework outcomes.
Ofsted SEND and AP inspection - July 2026
Following its inspection in July 2026, Ofsted found Solihull's partnership arrangements lead to inconsistent experiences and outcomes for children and young people with SEND and/or disabilities.
You can read the final report.
We will publish an action plan responding to areas of improvement by 6 November 2026.
