Headteacher Update Podcast: Effective SEND practice

In this episode we look at the principles of effective SEND practice, teaching and support in the primary school. We discuss effective leadership of SEN, championing SEN in your school, communicating effectively with colleagues, and achieving consistency. We look at ensuring SEN is the responsibility of all school staff (not just the SENCO) and creating a culture of inclusion. We ask how schools can maximise outcomes for SEN pupils given funding challenges and touch upon specific teaching strategies, parent/carer engagement, as well as using pupil profiles to support teaching staff with Education, Health and Care Plans.
