The council aims to develop a framework of providers to deliver day and residential educational support placements to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) up to the age of 25 years old. The vision is to secure SEND placements provision ideally close to the homes of Thurrock's children and young people, reducing family travel costs and offering specialist support.

Providers who can offer innovative person-centred approaches and models of care tailored to individual needs are encouraged to engage.
