The Senco Survival Guide Post Pandemic

Date: Wednesday 20th October 2021
Time: 9.30am to 3.30pm
Location: Kettering Park Hotel and Spa

During these very challenging times, and now having come out the other end to a changing world, many SENCOs are finding it increasingly difficult to manage their teaching alongside their role as a SENCO.

The SENCO continues to have a very important strategic role to play in a school and yet many are not on the leadership team and most have a significant teaching commitment.

  • Give delegates an update on the position of SEND nationally
  • Offer support and guidance on managing SEND in very challenging times
