Beyond Inclusion: Transforming SEND Support Post-Pandemic

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Nicola Taylor, Director of SEND at Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust, to explore how the trust has responded to the dramatic 50% increase in students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) over the past two years. Nicola shares the trust's innovative, data-driven strategies to tackle rising speech and language deficits post-pandemic, and how early intervention, consistent frameworks, and holistic family support are driving measurable improvements in attainment and behavior.
