Hertfordshire CC has said there is still ‘more to be done' after an inspection report noted improvements in special educational needs and disability (SEND) services.
Inspectors noted effective action had been taken since the previous inspection in July 2023 and the local area partnership had 'worked at pace to implement improved governance arrangements'.
However, inspectors highlighted the need for continued improvement, encouraging the partnership to continue to address geographical inequity.
Speaking on behalf of Hertfordshire's local area SEND partnership, Hertfordshire CC's executive member for education, SEND and inclusion, Mark Watkin, said: ‘Our improvement journey is by no means over. We know there is more to be done. It is, however, important that we recognise how far we have come.
‘We know that our improvements are not yet being felt by everyone and there are still things we must improve.
‘We're committed to building upon improvements made so far so that children and young people with SEND in Hertfordshire receive the support and opportunities they deserve.'
