As schools experience rising numbers of pupils with SEND and tighter funding, governance of SEND, including oversight of the quality of education provided to SEND pupils and the inclusiveness of the curriculum, should be a high priority for all boards

This governance training provides practical guidance on the governance of SEND and ensuring your school is inclusive.

• What is the SEND Engagement Model and your responsibilities?
• What it means to be an inclusive school
• How to monitor SEND finances and value for money
• How to monitor all aspects of SEND
• How to hold to account for provision and outcomes of SEND pupils
• How to develop a SEND governance action plan
• Sources of information and guidance to help you in your SEND governance role

All delegates will receive an electronic copy of the presentation and supporting materials and resources to help them to be more impactful in their governance role.

Who should attend?
Any governors or trustees who have responsibilities for SEND, or governors who want to understand more about governance of SEND and inclusion.
