Did your last INSET day have a positive impact? Often school INSET can be a topic that divides staff on whether they believe it adds value or not. In order to support children with SEND there will always be opportunities to adapt existing processes and policies. Often in training you will be confirming good practise and validating things you’re already doing. The key is to inspire staff to do things differently and create innovative approaches whilst gaining a greater understanding of specific SEND issues.
