Children & Families Care Act 2014
North West London councils are standardising special school nursing services for children with special educational needs and disabilities.
North West London councils are working to standardise special school nursing services for children with special educational needs and disabilities, aiming to reduce inconsistencies and enhance service quality. In November 2025, the North West London Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee received an update on progress for a core offer for community services, including special school nursing. Community providers committed to developing a consistent core offer to reduce variation across the region.
A final service delivery model and timeline to achieve this core offer for special school nursing is scheduled for November 2025. This initiative is part of wider efforts to implement reforms introduced by the Children & Families Care Act 2014, which includes provisions for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
