The Inclusion and SEND standards team work with maintained, free and academy schools in Southwark to support the development of best practice across the borough, in regards to educating children and young people with SEND in mainstream settings.
The Inclusion and SEND consultants were appointed in April 2023 to support SENCOs and leaders in developing SEND provision within their settings.
What can my consultant help with?
Consultant support is informed by the Southwark SEND standards and bespoke to each setting, it could include:
- Supporting schools to review SEND provision and identify areas of need
- Providing INSET and twilight training sessions contributing to staff CPD
- Advising and providing recommendations on specific demographics or conditions, such as EYFS, ASD and challenging behaviour
- Support for new SENCOs on: statutory requirments, provision mapping, 'assess, plan, do, review' and best use of support staff
- Supporting complex cases
