Schools' SEND Consultancy
My consultancy services aim to bridge gaps in a school's internal expertise, providing external, specialist support to enhance SEND provision and achieve better educational outcomes. Some common ways schools can benefit:
​
-
Expert support for SEND by providing specialist knowledge of SEND systems, helping schools gain financial support from local authorities, support complex cases, and ensure compliance with legislation.
-
Policy and practice improvement by reviewing school policies, conducting learning walks, and offering training on effective strategies to support all learners.
-
ISI and auditing support to help schools prepare for inspections or review their SEND provision.
-
Staff training on various aspects of SEND, the Children and Families Act, and the SEND Code of Practice.
-
Whole-school level change by promoting positive systemic change by implementing new provisions, and developing data analysis skills.
-
Bespoke support to assist with specific challenges, such as preparing for EHCP Annual Reviews to ensuring better outcomes for pupils.
