Helping children with SEND

SENDpicIn partnership with WEA, we’re running an exciting course aimed at improving the awareness and experience of adults wishing to help and support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

This course aims to build on the knowledge gained on the WEA Volunteers Helping in Schools course or equivalent courses. It will look at provision in mainstream for children with SEND and the implications of making this provision. It aims to develop student self-confidence, increase communication skills (both oral and written) and equip students to effectively and professionally support pupils with a wide range of needs. Accreditation can be achieved dependent on satisfactory achievement of all the set Learning Outcomes for the course. Admission to the course is strictly limited to those who are able to volunteer in school 2 hours per week.
