Supporting SEND students is a demanding and hugely important role and the paperwork that comes with it can often feel never-ending. For SENCOs in particular, the annual review process can be a major source of stress, with tight deadlines, competing priorities and the pressure to get it right for every child.
At the SEND Training Institute, we understand the reality of the workload and the passion behind the profession. This live webinar has been designed specifically for SENCOs who want to meet their statutory duties without burning out. Presented by SEND Consultant Jessica Thomsett, Jess brings a wealth of hugely valuable experience from her time working as a case worker for Local Authorities which means you’ll be hearing precisely what you need to be doing.
You’ll leave with practical strategies, tried-and-tested templates and the clarity needed to make annual reviews more efficient, more effective and less overwhelming.
In this training, you will learn:
- What the SEND Code of Practice and relevant legislation actually require and what they don’t
- How to streamline your review preparation with efficient systems and timelines
- The common pitfalls in paperwork and how to avoid them
- Tools and templates to simplify data gathering and recording
- How to maintain a person-centred approach without tripling your workload
- Strategies to engage parents and professionals constructively within the review process
Whether you're newly appointed or an experienced SENCO, this session will equip you with the confidence and tools to manage annual reviews in a smarter, more sustainable way.
Join us and reclaim your time, reduce stress and ensure your energy is focused where it matters most, on supporting children.
