    Brief

    Wolverhampton City Council is seeking consultancy services to conduct a 15-week diagnostic review of its Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system from July to October 2026. The council is experiencing rising demand for Education, Health and Care Needs Assessments (EHCNAs) and Plans (EHCPs), alongside increasing reliance on costly external specialist provision. This diagnostic project will examine system and process barriers affecting statutory processes, evaluate current use of specialist and alternative provision, and gather insights from education, health and social care partners to create a whole-system evidence base. The consultant will identify practical improvement opportunities and provide clear findings and recommendations to support transformation activity from autumn 2026 onwards, with the goal of building a more inclusive, collaborative and financially sustainable SEND system with schools at its centre.
