SEND Strategy

1 story · 1 council

Hackney Council is recommissioning children's occupational therapy services as part of its Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision.

In July 2026, Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved tendering for an Integrated Children's Occupational Therapy (ICOT) service, with a contract valued at up to £4.7 million over five years. This aims to streamline service delivery and reduce duplication within SEND provision.

A SEND Strategy outlines a local authority's approach to providing services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. No other councils have reported recent discussions or upcoming decisions on their SEND strategies.
