The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) in Milton Keynes focuses on children and young adults aged 0-25 years who are residents of, or who are educated within, Milton Keynes. The JSNA aims to provide Milton Keynes’ SEND Partnership Board, departments with responsibility for commissioning and service delivery and local leaders with an up to date understanding of the needs of local children and young adults with SEND to: 

• Inform the strategic, system wide priorities to improve independence and outcomes for children and young adults with SEND, and their families,

• Inform commissioning at both strategic and operational levels, so that services and support are tailored to need and based upon the best available evidence 

• Inform the wider system so that all relevant future plans in the local area are considered through the lens of independence and inclusion, reducing the social and environmental barriers to living with as much independence as possible.
