Making a difference to the achievements of learners with special educational needs and/or disabilities drives every SEN Co-ordinator (SENCO).
As we look forward to the start of a new academic year in September, it’s a good idea to look at how to you can support your SENCOs so that they are in a position to help SEND pupils as effectively as possible.
It also makes sense to entrust the development of your SENCOs with a training provider that has the expertise and track record of supporting hundreds of SENCOs over the years - one that shares your mission to reduce the inequalities in outcomes between SEND and non-SEND pupils.
Best Practice Network’s National Award for SEN Co-ordination (NASENCO) is a work-based, flexible and practical programme for new, aspiring and experienced SENCOs that gives them the tools and knowledge to make a real difference to the achievements of learners with special education needs and/or disabilities.
SENCOs who have achieved the award with us sing its praises. “It has given me more confidence in my role and has helped me support others,” said a Bristol SENCO. Another, based in Solihull, added: “I now feel I can make judgements and give guidance with a level of authority I did not possess previously.” The support that participants receive is also appreciated: “What a great and supportive course this is!”
