SEND services

21 October 2022

Your requests 

1. I would like to know how many SEND officers are within the team per pay banding.

2. For each of these officers, I would like to know their caseloads for each quarter since January 2018.

3. I would like to also know how much has been spent on agency staff within the service since 2018, by each year. Please can this include the number of agency staff this is for.

4. I would like to know how much has been spent on consultants for the service since 2018, by each year. Please can this include the name of consultants and hours spent if possible.

5. Please can I request the number of overall consultations (right to consult during an EHCP process) with schools that were rejected since 2018. Please can this be broken down by school type and by each year.
