As part of EPNE, a SEND Centre for Excellence, we are now delivering a range of programmes reflecting the 'People' theme of the Education Training Foundation (ETF) SEND Centres for Excellence, which prioritises developing staff confidence, skills, and resilience in meeting the needs of diverse learners.
The sessions are designed for a wide audience across Further Education settings, including teachers, curriculum managers, leaders, governors, support staff, and pastoral teams.
Our next session: Raising the Bar on the Journey to Excellence: Leading Change so Every Learner Thrives is now open to book.
This delivery plan sets out a structured programme of professional development sessions designed to strengthen inclusive practice across post-16 education, with a focus on supporting learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Each session has been aligned with the ETF Professional Standards to ensure that provision is underpinned by national expectations for teaching and learning.
Creating a culture where every learner thrives through purposeful strategy, collaboration, and insight. Through case studies and practical activities, participants will develop a clear, people-focused roadmap for excellence that integrates quality assurance, learner voice, and inclusive pedagogy.
To access our training session, you will need a Education Training Foundation account, which you can find below.
