Sheffield SEND Manifesto
Learn Sheffield have been commissioned by SCC, on behalf of the Local Area SEND Partnership, to support improvement in SEND in the city.
In 2024/25 this led to the development of the SEND Manifesto proposal below (in both a detailed and overview version) to provide the basis for further discussions across Sheffield. Feedback on the proposal was collected during the autumn term of 2025: SEND Manifesto Feedback (October 2025)

Sheffield SEND Manifesto Proposal – Full Version / Overview Version
The analysis in the manifesto was informed by a SEND Enquiry which was completed in May 2025, just after the Local Area SEND Inspection.
The manifesto provided a starting point for the development of a long-term strategy for Sheffield for the Local Area SEND Partnership in Sheffield, which includes:
- Sheffield City Council
- South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
- Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
- Sheffield Parent Carer Forum
- Learn Sheffield
