The SEND Advisers support all Primary and Secondary Mainstream schools in Hounslow, to embed a graduated response and offer inclusive Ordinarily Available Provision for children and young people with SEND.
We lead the termly SENCO Forums, which are a Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Networking and Information-Sharing event for all Primary and Secondary SENCO colleagues and produce a half-termly SENCO Bulletin to share relevant information, articles and training opportunities.
We work closely with SENCOs and Senior Leadership Teams to enable them to support staff in identifying needs early and embedding inclusive practise, by implementing High-Quality Teaching Expectations and SEND support strategies consistently. The SEND Advisers’ support includes regular school visits, discussions with staff, learning walks, delivering training sessions & workshops and in-class observations, followed up with comprehensive visit notes and suggested next steps.
