Overview

This is a newly established regional group for the Designated Clinical Officers (DCO).

The SW DCO Development Network provides an opportunity to identify and develop elements of the DCO role which would benefit from an agreed and / or consistent approach aligned with legal frameworks and national guidance. 

It provides a platform to share learning, resources and better practice across a network of trusted colleagues with a shared commitment to improving the outcomes and experiences of children, young people and their families with SEND across the South West.
