The LLR Change Programme Partnership and the SEND & Inclusion Alliance seeks to improve systems and processes to secure better lives for children, young people, their families and carers across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Some funding is available through 3 main programmes intended to realise improvements through investment in test and learn processes – commissioning of short to medium term projects that are well planned, have clear objectives and are rigorously assessed to ensure measurable impact. The Programmes are:
1. Leadership Development
2. Innovation
3. Analytics and predictive modelling
The application form should be completed to request funding for projects which build on the objectives of the SEND Change Programme Partnership in coproducing and creating inclusive systems across LLR. The outcomes sought from funded projects include strengthening inclusion, stimulation of long-term commissioning solutions, delivery of sustainable changes, and increases in the capacity and capability of the multiagency workforce.
