SEND Training

Assessment for the identification of SEND is a complex process, involving a tiered approach that is ‘graduated’ to meet the individual needs of a learner. Using an appropriate framework helps to ensure that decisions are being taken consistently, even though the outcome should be a personalised response for each student. Our framework offers some suggestions and guidance that colleagues may find helpful.

The training videos in this section provide guidance on how to administer, score and interpret the data from our SEND screeners. Each video will cover the pre-testing preparations to consider before administering the screener, as well as guidance for analysing and interpreting the data for the purpose of identifying next steps to ensure meaningful impact.
