nasen and BeReady announce pivotal new partnership
nasen is delighted to announce a new partnership with BeReady, in a collaboration designed to strengthen support for the SEND workforce.
As part of the agreement, BeReady becomes the Official Partner of the nasen Awards and the Official Partner of nasen LIVE - nasen’s two flagship events that bring together practitioners, leaders, and sector influencers to champion inclusion. BeReady will also work with us to co-design a brand-new strategic education event.
BeReady, a leading provider of fully funded professional development programmes, brings extensive expertise in workforce development across hundreds of multi-academy trusts and thousands of schools nationwide. Together with nasen - the national voice of inclusion for more than 30 years - this partnership will offer the sector a uniquely comprehensive professional learning pathway.
By combining nasen’s highly regarded short courses and CPD with BeReady’s longer-term programmes, the collaboration creates a training offer that spans light-touch learning through to sustained career development. The shared aim is to empower practitioners, strengthen inclusive practice, and ultimately improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
“For more than 30 years, nasen has been the national voice of inclusion. We are honoured to stand alongside them as the Official Partner of both nasen LIVE and the nasen Awards, ensuring practitioners have access to the most comprehensive SEND training offer in the UK,” said Kyle Burrows, Chief Learning Officer at BeReady.
Annamarie Hassall MBE, Chief Executive of nasen, added:
“This partnership means schools and practitioners can benefit from both nasen’s short courses and BeReady’s longer-term programmes, elevating and empowering the workforce and - ultimately - improving the experiences and outcomes for children and young people with SEND.”
The partnership officially launches in September 2025 and marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between the two organisations.
