The Essential SEND Managers programme is led by Davina Jones from National Star, and Barney Angliss for ADLZ insight. This free webinar provides an introduction to the SEND Managers' Programme, and the opportunity to consider the essential SEND knowledge and skills your organisation needs to meet the statutory duties and provide a personalised learning experience for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The webinar will also provide an update from the sector. 

This FREE webinar provides an introduction to the Essential SEND Managers' Programme and a sector update. You can also discuss how the programme can be personalised to meet the needs of your organisation. Please note that charges referred to below apply only to the full 2 day face-to-face programme which is temporarily on hold due to the COVID-19 situation.

Each month we will discuss a key theme or hot topic related to an inclusive curriculum. As a supportive, professional community we will work together to consider the options, develop FAQs and share resources so we don't always have to start from scratch.

Feel free to share the link with your circles of support and email us with the topics/ resources/ subjects to cover each month.

We will share how we find sustainable paid employment for our learners with SEND and how we help them overcome their barriers to employment through a variety of methods tailored around their specific needs.

The session will have a key focus on the impacts of mental health and wellbeing for learners and staff in the Covid FE landscape. There will be an opportunity to reflect upon the first term of the 20/21 academic year and identify common themes that have arisen. A toolbox of resources will be shared that embraces both face to face and digital opportunities.

ADHD is a term used to describe students who often have the following problems: overactive behaviour (hyperactivity); impulsive behaviour; difficulty in paying attention and distractibility. This live session will provide opportunities to discuss and explore practical approaches to understanding and supporting these students.

RARPA (Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement) is the process to measure the progress and achievement of. learners on non-accredited learning programmes. 

In this webinar we will explore the use of RARPA for a variety of learners to ensure we are using the study programme flexibly to meet needs. 

Join us while we share our development journey around initial assessment. 

We rely on our learners with inclusion needs (SEND) and their circles of support to inform our initial assessment of the softer skills. We then use the results to set targets and support our learners to plot their progress and then share their achievements via their progress reviews.
