Welcome

The South East Region SEN Partnership (SERSEN) is one of 11 partnerships (originally projects) established by the Department for Education and Employment (now the DfES) covering all Local Authorities in England. This page has information about the partnership, its Steering Group and its Management Team.

The LAs covered by SERSEN are:

Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Brighton, Medway and Kent.

The partnerships were established following a commitment made by the UK government in November 1998, in their programme of action on special educational needs, to ensure better co-ordination of provision throughout the country. SERSEN was created in January 2000.

The main objective of the partnerships is help establish more effective regional co-ordination of special educational provision and services, in particular for low incidence disabilities, in order to:

ensure the general availability of services and
ensure the efficient provision of these services
allow the DfEE to produce and disseminate examples of good practice in developing regional co-ordination

The partnerships will do this by

developing more inclusive policies and practices
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of SEN process and services (including benchmarking and parent partnership services)
responding to, and engaging effectively with, Government initiatives
improving inter-agency working locally and regionally

Each regional grouping of LAs has been allowed to determine its own focus for their partnership, and more information about other partnerships can be found at www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/sen/regional
