Join us for our online training event marking the launch of the Whippersnappers SEND Handbook – a brand-new, practical guide designed to help families navigate the complex world of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) support. This interactive training is designed for both professionals working with SEND families – including SENCOs, children’s centre staff, social workers, and special school practitioners – and parents/carers of children with SEND. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the handbook’s structure and content, and learn how to use it as a key tool for accessing services, understanding benefits, and signposting support effectively.
Who Should Attend?
- SENCOs and education staff in mainstream and SEND schools
- Children’s centre workers
- Social workers and family support practitioners
- Healthcare and early years professionals
- Parents and carers of children and young people with SEND
What You’ll Learn:
- How to navigate and make the most of the Whippersnappers SEND Handbook
- A clear overview of the support systems available for SEND families
- How to signpost services, benefits and entitlements with confidence
- Local and national resources available to families
- Practical tips for empowering parents/carers to access the right support at the right time
Whether you support SEND families professionally or as a parent/carer, this training will equip you with up-to-date knowledge and tools to break down barriers, reduce confusion, and increase access to vital services.
Let’s work together to ensure no SEND family is left in the dark when it comes to getting the support they need.
