SENsible SENCO CIC has made a significant impact on the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) community during the financial year. The organisation has provided extensive free and low-cost support to SENCOs, school staff, and parents through its various initiatives, helping to improve the quality of SEND provision across the UK. Key benefits to the community include: Training and Professional Development SENsible SENCO CIC has delivered numerous training sessions, webinars, and conferences aimed at upskilling SENCOs and other school staff. These sessions have covered topics such as neurodiversity, EHCPs, effective TA deployment, and workload management, equipping educators with practical strategies to support children with SEND. Resource Sharing and Support Networks Through its active online community, the organisation has fostered a collaborative space where SENCOs can share best practices, seek advice, and access high-quality resources. This has empowered professionals to implement effective SEND strategies in their schools. Advocacy and Policy Engagement The organisation has engaged in national discussions on SEND provision, including contributing insights to governmental reviews and education committees. This advocacy work has helped to shape policies that support inclusive education. Partnerships with Educational Providers SENsible SENCO CIC has worked with organisations such as Buckingham University, TTS, and Speech and Language Link to provide schools with tools and resources that enhance SEND support. These collaborations have improved access to specialist interventions for students with additional needs. Encouraging Best Practice in SEND Leadership Through its SAAL (SENCO as a Leader) series and SENCO Toolkit, SENsible SENCO CIC has promoted effective leadership within SEND departments, ensuring that SENCOs have the confidence and knowledge to advocate for their students. Reducing Barriers to Learning By providing free or affordable training and resources, the organisation has helped schools implement cost-effective solutions that make education more inclusive, particularly in underfunded areas. The organisation’s work has directly supported the professional growth of SENCOs, improved SEND provision in schools, and ultimately enhanced educational experiences for children with additional needs, making a measurable difference to the community.
SENsible SENCO CIC engages in ongoing consultation with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that its activities align with the needs of the SEND community. Over the financial year, the organisation has actively sought input from SENCOs, teachers, educational organisations, and policymakers to refine its offerings and advocate for improved SEND provision. 1. Consultation with SENCOs and School Staff SENsible SENCO CIC maintains a highly active online community where thousands of SENCOs and education professionals regularly discuss challenges, share best practices, and provide feedback on resources and training needs. This engagement ensures that the organisation's training, webinars, and resource development align with real-world school experiences. Examples: Regular polls and discussions in the SENsible SENCO Facebook group. Direct feedback from attendees of webinars and training sessions. Q&A sessions in networking events to understand emerging issues in SEND. 2. Collaboration with Educational Partners The organisation has worked closely with companies such as BSquared, PIVATS, Widgit, Speech and Language Link, Mable Therapy, Eiger Standing Desks, Texthelp, Hamish and Milo, Connections in Mind, and SENPloy to develop and promote SEND-friendly tools and strategies. Consultation with these partners has focused on: Identifying gaps in available SEND resources. Improving accessibility of specialist tools for schools. Developing training opportunities based on real school needs. 3. Engagement with Parents and Families SENsible SENCO CIC has consulted with parents through its online platforms and direct conversations to understand their concerns about SEND provision in schools. Parents have provided insights into challenges related to EHCP processes, school support, and communication gaps between families and schools. This feedback has informed the organisation’s guidance materials and advocacy efforts, ensuring parents feel empowered in their interactions with educational institutions. 4. Collaboration with Higher Education and ITT Providers The organisation has been in consultation with Buckingham University and other ITT providers regarding SEND training for new teachers. These discussions have focused on embedding SEND knowledge within initial teacher training and developing accessible CPD for teachers at all career stages. 5. Consultation with Policy and Advocacy Groups SENsible SENCO CIC has engaged with national discussions on SEND provision, including participation in government-led reviews and consultations. Abigail Hawkins attended the Education Select Committee in Parliament to provide insights into the realities of SEND in schools. The organisation has reviewed and provided feedback on national SEND policies and funding proposals. Input from other key organisations has helped shape the organisation’s stance on wider SEND issues. 6. Feedback from Conferences and Training Sessions During each major event, including the SENsible SENCO Legal Conference and networking events, feedback has been gathered from attendees. This has helped shape future sessions and refine training content to better support SENCOs in their roles. The consultation process has ensured that SENsible SENCO CIC’s activities remain relevant, impactful, and focused on addressing the key challenges faced by SEND professionals, schools, and families.
