Ofsted and CQC work together to inspect local arrangements for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This is called an area SEND inspection.
We use these inspections to improve services for children and young people with SEND.
An important part of the inspection is hearing from children, young people and their families about their experiences of SEND services in Greenwich.

How children and young people were involved in the inspection
The Woolwich Poly ACE group met the Inspectors. The inspectors were so impressed by their understanding of what the ACE groups are for and examples of how they have been listened to and changed services. They were also impressed by their dancing, singing and signing while watching the ACE film on the inspectors laptop! Prince Michael could sign every word of the songs! Thank you boys.
Six of our first cohort of Supported Interns joined the inspectors to tell them about their experiences working at Berkeley homes and Lewisham and Greenwich Trust. They said afterwards they were proud to be able to talk to inspectors about what they have been doing on the programme, and most were planning to spend their thank you vouchers on food treats.
Inspectors met with the Bannockburn ACE group to hear what the group had been up to and what they did on ACE sessions.
The children thought it was brilliant that they got to meet Dora (Jo: The Load inspector's) puppy.
