The National SEND Picture with Simon Tanner The SENDcast
-
- Education
When it comes to the national SEND landscape, it's crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of what is happening across the country. Different schools and authorities often face unique challenges, and it's important to recognise the difference between struggles that are universal and those that are localised to specific schools.
Having spent 6 years as a MAT SEND Leader, Simon Tanner joins Dale today bringing his expertise to discuss ‘The National SEND Picture’.
During the conversation, Simon delves into the national issues affecting the SEND landscape, such as workload, funding, and recruitment. He offers advice and tips on collaborating and learning from other schools within your Local Authority, as well as scaling up successful initiatives.
“There are pockets of outstanding practise out there and communities and people coming together to collaborate to get the best for the SEND needs of the people that they're working with. I think that's the bit that gives me, as a leader of SEND within my MAT, hope. And we've got that passion and I think it's, how many of us can now come together to work, to provide and push that agenda along more, because that voice is getting louder.”
