Guidance and Support for SENCOs New to Their Role or School
Starting as a SENCO or moving into a new school can feel overwhelming. You’re expected to understand SEND legislation, manage EHCP processes, prepare for Ofsted and support staff, often all at once.
We provide practical support to help new SENCOs feel confident, organised and compliant in their role.
