The Stepping Stones programme

Devons Integrated Provision Strategy for Children and Young

People in Devon (0-19)

• To develop a continuum of provision to meet a continuum of need for all Children and Young People in Devon.

• For most children in Devon educational and indeed social needs are provided for by mainstream schools, families and communities. However, a number of Children and Young People will have additional needs and the continuum of provision needs to be able to respond to, and meet, these needs.

• As part of the vision it is intended that that children and young people should be able to access services and provision within their Local Learning Communities wherever possible. Some children with complex needs will require access to specialist support in additionally resourced provision or special schools.
