- Designing and delivering training and development programmes
- Creating and implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- Developing training manuals, practice guidance and supporting resources
- Coaching and mentoring SEND practitioners and managers
- Supporting newly appointed permanent staff to successfully embed within the service

- Promoting consistent and high-quality SEND practice
- Supporting continuous improvement across SEND services
- Working collaboratively with managers and practitioners to embed new ways of working
About You
