Today, partners from the Cornwall Local Area SEND Partnership met to move further forward in an exciting phase, ensuring inclusion, wellbeing and high expectations are a consistent reality for all.

At the heart of this is Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) - the high-quality, inclusive support every child should receive in every Cornwall school, no matter their needs or where they live.

OAP is the foundation of inclusive education. It ensures consistency, fairness, and a real sense of belonging for all children- before any additional or specialist support is needed.

More to come as this important work develops!
