Alan Benvie, Clare Howard, Jerry White and Jacqui Ford believe that inclusion must be led from the top of an organisation, and they want to assist other like-minded leaders and senior managers. So leaders from each Centre for Excellence in SEND are offering free, confidential conversations, providing expert support to other FE and Skills Leaders within their specific priority focus and friendly reviews of your provision; use their emails below to book one. Putting learners with SEND at the heart of strategic thinking and decision-making improves outcomes for learners and has proven benefits for the curriculum, staff and the community.
Resources to support leaders and managers produced by the Centres for Excellence in SEND and the SEND Employer Spokes can be found on the Community of Practice Resources page.
