Support for Education Settings
The most important in-school factors in improving outcomes are effective teaching, including from teaching assistants, teachers and early years practitioners, and strong leadership of SEND, from SENCOs, Headteachers, nursery managers, governors and trustees.
Our menu of Continuing Professional Development provides all professionals with the opportunity to learn, develop and improve, whether you are new to the profession, have many years of experience, or are a leader in education.

Early Years Training and Resources
nasen offers a range of training opportunities and resources specifically for leaders and practitioners, working in the Early Years (EY).
nasen is currently working with Local Authorities across the country to develop their SEND provision at a strategic level.
The Golden Key Programme
Help inform, upskill, and empower early years staff to make a positive impact for children and young people with SEND.
This training program upskills EY practitioners to identify and provide for the needs of all children in their care. It involves identifying individual needs, fostering trust with children and their parents/carers, and daily interaction with children to gain a holistic understanding of their preferences, interests, and development needs.
This training is designed for practitioners (who are not EY SENCO’s) in Early Years PVI and maintained school settings.

Conducting a SEND Review in your setting can help to improve SEND provision and strategy, so that all children and young people are appropriately supported to achieve good outcomes in both mainstream and special settings. At nasen, we have several options available to you, for when you are thinking about conducting a SEND Review for your setting.
