As schools experience rising numbers of pupils with Special Educational Needs and tighter funding, governance of SEND, including oversight of the quality of education provided to SEN pupils and the inclusiveness of the school and its curriculum, should be a high priority for all boards.

This governance training provides practical guidance on the governance of SEND and ensuring your school is inclusive. It is ideal training for your Special Educational Needs governor.

What you will learn:

• What is SEND?
• Understanding the types of SEND
• What are the statutory roles and responsibilities relating to SEND?
• Understanding the national picture of SEND support
• The SEND responsibilities in schools and trusts
• What it means to be an inclusive school
• How to monitor all aspects of SEND
• How to hold to account for provision and outcomes of SEND pupils
• How to develop a SEND governance action plan
• Sources of information and guidance to help you in your SEND governance role

All delegates will receive an electronic copy of the presentation and supporting materials and resources to help them to be more impactful in their governance role.

Who should attend?
Any governors or trustees who have responsibilities for SEND, or governors who want to understand more about governance of SEND and inclusion.
