About Whole School SEND
The Whole School SEND Consortium brings together schools, organisations and individuals who are committed to ensuring that every child and young person with SEND can achieve their potential at school.
Universal SEND Services

Teacher Handbook: SEND
With contributions from specialists across the sector, the handbook is a comprehensive resource for teachers to use over time, with each of the nine sections intended to be used as required rather than being read in sequence. It brings together practical examples of high-quality teaching - placing focus on removing barriers to learning, getting to know and understand individual learners, and bringing to life the graduated approach.
SEND Interactive Toolkits
Each interactive toolkit is a comprehensive resource hub designed to guide professionals through resources to support various aspects of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Tailored for a range of roles, these toolkits offer a variety of guides and webinars categorised for easy navigation.
