The Lamb Inquiry was established to investigate a range of ways in which parental confidence in the special educational needs (SEN) system of assessment and provision might be improved. This report makes five recommendations: Ofsted should have a special duty to report on the quality of the provision for pupils with SEN; inspectors should have training on SEN and disability; there should be enhanced training for additional inspectors with skills in particular areas of SEN; local authorities which fail to fulfil their statutory duties towards children with SEN should be directed to address the failure; to support decision making, inspectors should have available a range of information on outcomes for children and parental satisfaction.

This is the fifth annual monitoring report on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. The report looks back at the first five years of the safeguards implementation and highlights recurring themes; summarises the impact of recent developments such as the House of Lords MCA post-legislative scrutiny committee and Supreme Court judgement; and reviews the use of the safeguards for the year 2013/14. Short case studies and good practice examples are included. Recurring themes identified over the past five years were: low numbers of applications; regional variations in application rates; and variations in practice and training across organisations. The year 2013/14 saw a rise in the number of applications to use the safeguards, with a dramatic rise in Q1 and Q2 of 2014/15. This rapid rise has resulted in a backlog of applications.

This easy read summary presents the findings from an inspection of services for people with a learning disability in some areas of Scotland. A team of people visited four areas to check up on how good services were for people with a learning disability. The team included people with a learning disability and family carers. The inspection looked at three things in each area: transition; lifelong learning; and work opportunities for people with a learning disability. As part of the process each council and NHS partnership was visited and service users, carers and staff had a chance to say what they thought about services.

The Scottish Government commissioned this inspection, which was undertaken in 2009. The 3 themes for the inspection were transition, lifelong learning, and employment. It focused on what 4 councils and health partnerships in Angus, Dumfries and Galloway, East and West Lothian were doing to improve the experiences of people with a learning disability about these issues. The report includes an easy read summary of the findings, describes the inspection methodology and activities, and reports on the findings for each of the 4 partnerships studied and on shared issues for all areas. It includes tables with a summary showing evaluation levels for each partnership for: outcomes for people who used services and their carers, experience of people who used services and their carers, impact on stakeholders, access to services, strategic planning, vision, values and aims, and capacity for improvement. It makes recommendations for improvements for individual councils, individual partnerships or more than one council or partnership. The report notes that each partnership will be asked to prepare an action plan setting out how they will implement the recommendations of the report.
