Early Years SENDCo Forums

IMPORTANT update:

The SENDCO Forums are being relaunched as Early Years and Childcare: Safeguarding and Inclusion Forums (SIFs). These forums are designed for SENDCOs and Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), including childminders, bringing together safeguarding, inclusion, SEND and vulnerability themes in one forum. Led by Early Years Quality and Inclusion Partners (EYQIPs) and Early Years Sufficiency Welfare Advisers (EYSWAs), the sessions will provide up-to-date information, practical guidance, opportunities to share best practice, and valuable networking with colleagues.

If you have already booked onto a SENDCO Forum this term (Oct 2026) you don't need to do anything as the date and time remain unchanged.

Bookings for Spring dates will be on the following booking page: Early Years and Childcare: Safeguarding and Inclusion Forums (SIFs) | DES
