“It’s easy listening, totally relevant to my role, informative and it’s free. I came home today feeling completely overwhelmed – this helped me to feel that I’m not alone.”

Leslie Jones, Inclusion Manager – Furzefield Primary

“Excellent content delivered in a very convenient way and at a very reasonable price.”

Janet Bristow, SENCO – Perrymount Primary School

“Really useful to hear current thinking and best practice. The videos can be rewatched and also shared with colleagues – which is excellent!”

Seb Olway, SENCO – Titchfield Primary School

“The calm, friendly tone of Dale and guests. The free access to SEND expert knowledge and free CPD for busy working parents like myself. I listen on walks/doing the cooking/housework and often end an episode with a new found energy to help the learners in my care.”

Nadine Lloyd, Key stage one teacher

“Great episode of The SENDcast, this is the best explanation of identify/person first language I’ve come across!”

Rob Cooling, Apple Driving School

“The speakers are excellent and very knowledgeable. It is much cheaper than lots of training around, essential at this time when funds are low and access to high-quality CPD can be limited.”

Louise Aldridge, Deputy Head Teacher & Inclusion Manager – Busy Hill Junior School
