Course Description
Introduction
SEND reviews help to explore statutory compliance, areas of strength, best practice and areas to develop. A full review will take place in the setting to asses the effectiveness of SEND processes and provision. This is followed by a report and skeleton action plan for school leaders to develop a short term, medium term and long-term action plan which embeds the recommendations from the audit. A follow up visit to review how the action plan is being implemented can be added separately.
A consultant will visit the school to conduct a comprehensive review of SEND practice across the whole school environment or a specific area identified by school.
