All governing boards have legal duties in relation to pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). These responsibilities can seem daunting, leaving boards not knowing where to start. At the end of this workshop, participants should have a thorough understanding of SEND and how they can ensure that those with SEND have their needs met and make the very best progress in their school(s).
This workshop will cover:
- What SEND is and how it is determined
- The legislation, guidance and policies
- A word about COVID-19 and its continuing impact
- How SEND is funded
- Who is responsible for what?
- What governors need to know about the SEND population, progress and measuring impact
- Next steps
