This part of our Making Sense of SEND training explains special educational needs, SEN support and how the SEND system works. It includes:
- Important things to know – the law, the SEND system, types of SEN, SEND language
- SEN Support – core principles of support, types and levels of support, how SEN support works, school plans and adjustments
- Getting help – when and how to get help, the Local Offer in Devon, useful organisations and services, how to get more help
You may find it most useful if you are a parent carer living in Devon and you’re new to SEND or have a child being supported without an EHC plan, but anyone is welcome to join!
The session is run by Sarah Smith, Information and Training Officer, and a DiAS Officer, who works on our enquiry line. The main session is one hour long, with 30 minutes for questions and discussion at the end.
