The Future of SEND: The Fundamental Dynamics of a SEND Provision
Public awareness of Special Education Needs has increased significantly in recent years. The Department for Education, reported on 26 July 2018, that the number of pupils with special educational needs has risen significantly for a second consecutive year.
Ofsted’s Annual Report highlighted concerns raised by their local area SEN inspections, their figures have shown that provision for young people with special educational needs is too disjointed and inconsistent. Medical Diagnoses are taking too long and are often inaccurate. Mental health needs are not supported sufficiently. Moreover, the gap in performance and outcomes for children with SEN is widening between the best and worst local areas. In light of the Timpson review, it was reported that 78% of exclusion are likely to include SEN pupils. Ultimately, Ofsted's new frameworks have an expectation and responsibility for schools to improve the education for SEND learners.
Join us for our annual SEND conference, where we will explore the holistic approach of communication within schools to support pre-diagnosed learners. Central to delivering excellent assistance is having the right resources, a qualified workforce, and strong leadership to exceed minimum expectation. Thus, our experts will share practical advice on developing a team culture for excellence across education establishments. We will be reflecting on the findings of learning from the Timpson review on exclusions, which has been a huge talking point. Jonathan Jones, from Ofsted, will share top tips and guidance on Ofsted’s new inspection framework for SEND provisions which comes into force on September 2019, providing the valuable information necessary for education establishment to build an effective provision that will meet the requirements of during inspections. Essentially, school leaders will have the opportunity to consider the effectiveness of the SEND provision in their schools, establishing strengths and weaknesses, or areas of improvements.
Take a look at our previous SEND Conference
Delegate feedback from Salford Professional Development’s previous SEND conferences includes:
“I found it really interesting and it gave me insights into SEN. As I am a new SENCO, I value the experience of others.”
“A great overview of SEND at the moment. Great for updating knowledge and understanding the SEND issues from other professionals’ positions."
“It helped me to realise that my vision of SEND, seeing the holistic child and not a set of data is a good vision to have."
“It was a very valuable day providing ideas, information and time to reflect.”
