SWIFT SEND Series | 2022 - 2023

As part of SWIFT’s commitment to creating high-quality opportunities for staff to learn, develop and connect, we are committed to providing meaningful professional development to support all children and young people, including disadvantaged children and those with SEND in order to help them to achieve the best educational outcomes.
 
SWIFT has evolved their CPD SEND programme to bring up-to-date and practical training for colleagues to take back helpful strategies and knowledge into their own educational settings.

Governors will be supported in how to ensure that their setting has robust systems to cope with SEND and to understand SEND on the frontline.
 
The session will also consider the basics, including definitions of SEND and the SEND Code of Practice, and the national picture, sources of information and recent developments.
 
Delegates will receive the tools to evaluate their school’s SEND provision and to consider strategic leadership, accountability, structures and processes and people management.
