Developing a Whole School Approach to SEND with Natalie Packer
If we are really going to make a difference to pupils with SEND in our schools, then the development and organisation of provision needs to be led from the top. No matter how good an individual SENCO or SEND team in a school might be, they will only ever be able to make real improvements if the senior leadership team are on board. This is why a whole school approach to developing SEND provision is so important. This week on the show our guest is Natalie Packer, author of The Perfect SENCO. Natalie has extensive experience as a trainer and can offer specialist training and advice that is flexible and tailored to the needs of your school.
