There will be a focus group with the Ofsted Inspectors on

Monday 18th June  At  11.00 – 12.00
At Jubilee House, Bloxwich Lane, Walsall, WS2 7JL

It would be good to get as many as possible to this – they are interested in what works well/ what doesn’t work well in support for disabled children – from a social care, education and health perspective.   What they say in their report can be very influential on how services are delivered locally.

If you would like to come, please let Pete Bull know. He can be contacted as follows:
