The Covid-19 lockdown has had a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people in our school communities, including of course those with SEND.

This webinar will illustrate three practical tools that can be used to re-energise a learning conversation with parents and carers and help children and young people to identify and develop the social and learning skills vital to successful learning. The webinar will cover:

  • the STAR Framework for capturing small-step improvement;
  •  the Skills Builder Expanded Framework that gives employers, practitioners, parents/carers and learners a progressive small step learning matrix to support the explicit learning of eight essential skills, and;
  • the Core Strength Framework that helps with identifying, acknowledging and building skills for learning, employment and life.
