SEND Implementation and Development

Professional development opportunities are available to a range of teaching and non-teaching staff on the evolving legal and statutory landscape underpinning SEND provision in schools and educational settings. This enables practitioners to keep pace with changes in SEND provision and understand the day-to-day practicalities.

The current professional development offering focuses on the new SEND Framework including the Graduated Response Framework underpinned by the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, the new draft SEND Regulations and associated draft SEND Code of Practice.

Further detailed information on this new SEND Framework, including each of the three elements is available on the Department of Education website.
