Role of SENCo training
Early Years SEND Lead Teacher Tina Arterton is running a Role of SENCo course for practitioners new to the role of SENCO. This will be held on Friday, 6th of July 2018, 9:30 am to 2:30 pm at Medway Council, Gun Wharf, Dock Road, Chatham ME4 4TR.
This session will provide an introduction to the knowledge and skills required of a PVI SENCo as required by the SEND Code of Practice 0 to 25 years. It will focus on the roles and responsibilities which need to be undertaken as a SENCo.
