SEND strategic leadership support
Our team has an extensive range of experience in the field of SEND, school leadership and improving schools. We can provide bespoke support, advice and development to schools, settings, colleges, employers, training providers and organisations that work with children and young people with SEND.
SENCO National Professional Qualification
From September 2024 the NASENCo qualification will be replaced by the SENCO NPQ. This is part of the DfE’s SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan.
SENCOs who have already obtained the NASENCO do not need to complete the SENCO NPQ. SENCOs appointed before 1 September 2009 are not required to take the NPQ, but will be expected to ensure compliance with the regulations.
From September 2024, all SENCOs and aspiring SENCOs will need to:
- take the NPQ if they have not completed or started the NASENCO
- complete training within 3 years of appointment - schools and SENCOs must make sure they enrol on training that will meet this requirement
We will update this page once we have further details of how this course can be accessed in Devon.
New to SENCo
This event is for SENCos who are new to role. It aims to develop an understanding of both the strategic and operational aspects of this unique role in school.
An introduction to Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision
The workshop will provide a detailed introduction to Ordinarily Available Inclusive provision, explaining what it is and what it isn’t. We will be sharing the full content of Devon’s Ordinarily Available Inclusive Schools and settings’ framework and explaining how this could be used to support and develop provision in schools, as well as how it could help schools to share the good practice that is already in place more easily with CYP, families and staff.
