Devon has the highest proportion of SEND learners in the country with these support needs:
 
  • High levels of trauma and mental health support needs

  • Anxiety, depression, self harm and potential suicide or suicidal ideation  

  • Child poverty and associated health inequalities

  • Social Isolation and broken family ties

  • Nature deficit disorder and a lack of access to free play or activities outside of school
