DfE Whole School SEND Webinars

Here are details of an upcoming series of three national Whole School SEND webinars, on the theme of 'Leading Specialist Spaces in Mainstream'.

These are free-to-access via the Department for Education’s Universal SEND Services contract, and aimed at teachers, SENDCos and school leaders at all levels. 

 They will cover different components of leadership, curriculum, specialist pedagogy, assessment, and the experience of children with complex SEND profiles who are learning in separate, internal spaces in mainstream schools.
