Special Educational Needs Policy and Strategy and that it be
reviewed and adapted by officers as necessary, in consultation with
the Portfolio Holder for Children's Services, on an annual

Approval of the Strategy will enable Medway to
deliver better outcomes for pupils who have special educational
needs within its own 'in house' provision and start to reduce
reliance on high cost out of area provision. By having an agreed
strategy, which addresses different dimensions within the special
educational needs, Medway partners across Medway can work towards
common goals. Medway is required to set out its policy and strategy
to meet the needs of pupils with special needs.
