Resource for SEND Practitioners

The resource is designed to help SEND practitioners facilitate conversations with children and young people identified as having SEND so that they can help them:
-feel more confident to talk about their SEND with SEND practitioners and teachers, their classmates, friends and families;
-think about what their SEND means to them and take ownership of it;
-understand what their SEND means to others;
-understand how their SEND and support may or may not change in the future, and
- advocate for their needs and educate others.

The five sections are headed:
-Silence around SEND
-EHCPs
-Belonging
-Learning
-Futures

The resource is based on the finding of the Young Researchers Young Voices co-research project where five young people identified as having SEND worked with more experienced researchers from the University of Derby.
