The professional role of the SENCo in quality educational improvement

This webinar seeks to cast light on the potential impact the recommendations set out within the SEND Green Paper and the consequent policy implications may have for the SENCo role. We hope that by looking beneath the rhetoric and considering the role from both a practitioner and parental perspective schools will be more informed and better able to respond to the needs of pupils and families whatever policy changes may bring.
