SEND Governance Structure
The diagram above shows the governance structure for SEND in the local area, highlighting how different boards, forums, and workstreams work together to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
The Children's Executive Board provides strategic oversight, feeding into the SEND Governance Board, which brings together parent groups, key delivery boards, and linked strategies. The CYP Programme Board connects these elements and drives action through focused SEND Programme Workstreams, which address areas for development such as:
- Quality assurance and data
- Support for high needs
- Preparing for adulthood
- Engagement and communication with families
Each part plays a distinct but connected role in shaping, delivering, and improving SEND services locally.
Young SEND Matters Live!
The new Council Chambers at Bromley Civic Centre became a beacon of inclusivity and empowerment as young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) took centre stage at the Young SEND Matters Live event held on Wednesday 2nd April. The atmosphere was electric with excitement, and from the very first moment, it was clear that this was more than just a meeting—it was a celebration of young voices being heard, valued, and acted upon.
Senior leaders from the SEND partnership across education, health and social care, gathered in the impressive chambers, fully engaged and eager to listen. The grandeur of the setting added a powerful sense of importance, reinforcing to the young attendees that their perspectives truly mattered.
One of the most inspiring aspects of the event was the active participation of the young people themselves. Through interactive workshops, lively discussions, and dynamic presentations, they articulated their aspirations, challenges, and ideas for improving services and accessibility. Their confidence grew with every contribution, and their energy was infectious—prompting even the most senior figures in the room to take note, engage, and respond with genuine enthusiasm.
Senior leaders not only listened, but they actively committed to action. They acknowledged the intelligence, creativity, and resilience of the young people, expressing their deep appreciation for the invaluable insights shared. Many described the event as an opportunity to shift the way policies are shaped, ensuring they are guided by the voices of those who are directly affected.
Young people left feeling empowered, knowing that their contributions were not just acknowledged but taken seriously. The sense of achievement and collective purpose resonated throughout the chambers, leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.
