£200 million landmark SEND teacher training programme
The Department for Education (DfE) has announced new courses available to all teaching staff. The training will aim to deepen knowledge of how to adapt teaching to meet a wide range of special educational needs in the classroom, including visual impairments and speech and language needs. The DfE says the courses are being funded by a £200million investment.
Behind the training will be a new expectation set out in the SEND Code of Practice, that all staff in every nursery, school and college should receive training on SEND and inclusion – making sure that every teacher nationwide is reached.
When child abuse and neglect are identified, children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are more highly represented.
Whilst the DfE have instigated this new initiative with effective and inclusive education in mind, understanding the child’s world and seeking to ensure positive and supportive relationships are the cornerstone of effective safeguarding and we look forward to seeing what opportunities this new programme brings to safeguarding practice.
