Special educational needs and disability co-ordination: is it easy? |
| Description |
Christopher Robertson, SEN and Disability Independent Academic - This workshop will focus on the role of special educational needs co-ordinators (SENCOs)* in ‘transforming’ the quality of educational support for children and young with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Specific consideration will be given to challenges faced by SENCOs now that the ‘transitional phase’ of implementing the Children and Families Act 2014 has ended. It will also be argued that embedding the reforms requires further work and an honest appraisal of relevant research and policy evidence. Key messages from this evidence will be used to consider what government, local authority areas and school leaders need to do to support SENCOs, children and young people and their families. |
