Post-16 SEN CPD webinars

We are offering a series of free webinars to support staff working with post-16 learners with SEN. These monthly sessions are open to SENCOs as well as any other appropriate team members involved in supporting these learners.

The webinars have been developed in response to feedback from post-16 settings and will be delivered by professionals from a range of services, including SEN advisory teachers, CAMHS, and social care.

Webinars run for 90 mins. All attendees will receive a recording of the session, which can be used for future reference or internal training.

This webinar series marks the beginning of a broader effort to enhance support for post-16 settings. We plan to prioritise targeted support for those who engage with this universal offer.

You can see the full webinar schedule on our 2025/26 training calendar.
