Your whole school will benefit from our strategies, frameworks and guidance. Participants will discover how to effectively work with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure that SEND support is transformed across their setting.
Improve outcomes for all of your learners:
The SEND-friendly practices shared in the programmes can be used in the classroom to support all learners, not just those with identified support needs.
