What are the Peterborough SEND Hubs?
Peterborough has established a network of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Hubs, known as SEND Hubs. Each Hub is commissioned by Peterborough City Council and is hosted by a Peterborough education setting. Each Hub has a specific SEND focus area. All Hubs are commissioned to raise the quality of support for all children and young people with SEND in Peterborough Local Authority and to promote the “SEND is Everybody’s Business” approach. The Hubs do this by:
• Modelling high quality inclusion, and whole school approaches particularly in their SEND focus area.
• Offering training to support children and young people in Peterborough settings.
• Offering general advice and bespoke “peer to peer” support to other Peterborough settings
• Sign posting to and/or lending resources.
• Working in partnership with Peterborough Local Authority to promote inclusion strategies
SEND Hubs do not offer formal assessments of children and young people.
The SEND Hubs can offer support to settings beyond their own setting age range.
There are a limited number of places in the Hubs for children and young people with particular types of SEND to be directly supported by the school / Hub. These places are allocated by the SEND Panel as part of the Education, Health and Care (EHC) Needs Assessment process. For full details please see the Assessment and EHC Plan page of the Local Offer.
