SENCo Back to Basics: Working with challenging families

Absolutely! Our 'Back to Basics' series is perfect for SENCos who are just starting out on their journey, aspiring SENCos, or for experienced SENCos who are wanting to refresh their practice.

Spiky Profile are a small but mighty team of education and inclusion professionals. We built Spiky to step in when the system fails. Be it staffing, training, consultancy, intervention, or something else. We provide what you need: we meet your needs, so you can meet theirs.

Our Back to Basics series is designed and delivered by two of our SEN Consultants, Lizzy Park and Gill Dudley. Both Lizzy and Gill have extensive SENCo experience in Leeds, and this means all these sessions are grounded in reality and practical application, rather than just theory or ideology.

There'll be no soggy digestives or stale custard creams here. We know how hard you all work so we're bringing the big pre-teatime treats... think pizzas, wings, nachos. Oh yes. There'll also be soft drinks available, and a bar onsite if you want to order anything else. Let us know any dietary needs.

Loads of SENCos seem to live in North Leeds! It made sense to hold events here, at the end of the working day, so many people can build it into their commute. We know it's not ideal for some people, but with good transport and road links North Leeds is reasonably accessible for most.

Not for this session, I'm afraid, because we're trying to build our local community of SENCos in Leeds in person. However, if you're interested in our online sessions, please email hello@spikyprofile.co.uk and we'll make sure you know what's coming up soon.

Of course! If you need us to consider any reasonable adjustments to boost your experience with us, let us know as far in advance as possible and we will do our best to accommodate them (e.g. photos of the venue, sending the slides in advance, a pre-chat, etc.)
