    The intended outcomes of this activity are for you to:

    Learn that:

    • Pupils with special educational needs or disabilities are likely to require additional or adapted support; working closely with colleagues, families and pupils to understand barriers and identify effective strategies is essential.
    • SENCOs, pastoral leaders, careers advisors and other specialist colleagues also have valuable expertise and can ensure that appropriate support is in place for pupils.

    Learn how to develop an understanding of different pupil needs, by:

    • Working closely with the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and special education professionals and the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
    • Using the SEND Code of Practice, which provides additional guidance on supporting pupils with SEND effectively.
