Roles & Responsibilities within the Special Educational Needs & Disability Service, Wigan

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council,

Please could you tell me the job title of the person/people responsible for statutory assessments of SEN. By this I mean the person/people who would receive a request, process the request, ask for advice from involved parties, advise involved parties of the decision to assess or not, if the decision is to assess, to process the assessment and issue a decision whether to issue a statement or not.

For each of the job titles provided above, how many of these posts are there within the team (per job title).

How are details of statutory assessments recorded/stored, and for how long is the council required to keep these documents for?

Please could you provide a job description for the SEN Assessment and Commissioning Manager.

Finally, please could you tell me how many Annual Review (of statement of SEN) meetings the SEN Assessment and Commissioning Manager has attended in the last 12 months, and the reasons for this attendance.

Thanks

Yours faithfully,

Diane Kay

Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council
