This webinar focuses on understanding and addressing pupils’ Social, Behavioural, Emotional and Wellbeing (SBEW) needs, drawing on guidance from the Department of Education’s Special Educational Needs and Inclusion in Mainstream Schools file.

The session will also highlight the range of supports available from the Education Authority.
