Early years practitioners recognise that all children are unique and they all have their individual needs. However, some children face challenges that impact on their learning and development. In order to nurture these children fully, it is crucial that practitioners are armed with a professional curiosity, knowledge and a willingness to create inclusive and supportive environments. This course has been designed to deepen the knowledge of practitioners in the early years and support better outcomes for young children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Aims:
- Support early years practitioners to develop their knowledge and awareness of SEND in the early years, to improve the experiences of the children in their care
- Raise knowledge within the early years workforce to improve early identification of SEND
