Our SEND Training for Schools is designed to equip school staff, including governors and trustees, with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively navigate SEND law, tribunal processes, and related issues. This modular training can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your school or academy.

Available Training Modules:

• Fundamentals of Tribunal: A comprehensive overview of SEND Tribunal procedures and key legal principles
• School Exclusions: How to Do Them Properly for Schools: Best practices for managing and conducting school exclusions in compliance with SEND law
• Disability Discrimination: Understanding how disability discrimination laws apply to students with SEND and how to avoid common pitfalls
• Responding to Consultation Responses: Guidance on how to appropriately respond to consultation letters in the context of SEND
• Training Governing Bodies in Exclusion Processes: Tailored sessions for school governors on their legal duties and responsibilities when handling exclusions

As highlighted in recent Department for Education (DfE) guidance, it is essential for governing boards and trust board members to receive regular training on SEND and disability duties. We provide training specifically designed to help school governors understand their legal duties in relation to SEND, which is crucial for ensuring that your school remains compliant with current regulations. You can find more on this in the DfE’s official guidance here.

How It Works:

Schools can select from any combination of the modules listed above. We recommend letting us know your school’s priorities and training needs, and we will collaborate with you to create a customised training program.
