The SENDStational® SENCo: 1. Organising Effectively - A practical guide for new and returning professionals

About this session

Are you new to the SENCo/ALNCo role or a perhaps you’d welcome the opportunity to step back, reflect and refresh after a busy first term/year?

If you’re a SENCO/ALNCo you know it’s one of the most rewarding roles in school – and also one of the most challenging! Your complex and nuanced role plays a central part in the lives of children with special education needs. Your responsibilities range from managing specialist staff and budgets, informing good practice, identifying needs, understanding the law as it applies to SEND, supporting, explaining and advocating for pupils and their parents.

Your formal training may have taught you about your responsibilities but often the practical guidance on where to start, and to manage it all can be lacking. In this step-by-step supportive guide to your first day, week, month, term and year you’ll gain a valuable insight and some great practical guidance/resources.

This session provides an opportunity to hear and learn from an experienced SENCo with lots of top tips and practical advice to surviving as a SENCO/ALNCo in the early days and developing good habits for the longer-term. It’s a truly great role and you deserve to enjoy it!

There is also a question-and-answer session built in for you to raise specific issues

Useful for:

Newly appointed/New to the role SENCos/ALNCos or SENCos/ALNCos wishing to reflect and refresh

Also included:

  • Summary Sheet of Key Points including links to useful references
  • Certificate of Attendance

These will be emailed to you at the start of the session.
