Leaders across the partnership should improve their oversight and strengthen joint working across services to support preparation for adulthood arrangements.  This also includes improving the way that child and adult services are joined across all health services for children and young people with SEND so that the journey into adult health services is easier and more accessible.

The local area partnership must strengthen its commissioning arrangements to meet the identified needs of children and young people with SEND in Torbay. This includes strengthening the way that the joint strategic needs assessment is used to accurately identify and effectively manage risks when service gaps are identified across the partnership.
