What is Delivering Special Provision Locally (DSPL)?

DSPL is a Hertfordshire-wide partnership approach where parents, carers, staff in early years settings and schools, further education colleges, local authority officers and representatives from other agencies, work together as part of an Area Group, to ensure that there is a range of provision and support services available in their local community that :

Meets the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), aged 0-25, as close to home as possible

Improves outcomes for wellbeing and attainment

Widens choice for children and parers/carers

Removes barriers to learning

Uses resources more effectively
