The first webinar, presented by HMI Chris Pollitt, will look at how high-quality education for all can inform provision for those at SEND Support in mainstream settings. The session will look at how quality first teaching, as defined in the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework, can drive provision for students at SEND Support to ensure the best possible outcomes for those learners. This session will cover the best environments for inclusion, how to overcome barriers to learning and quality-first teaching as it is referred to in the Ofsted Framework.

The second follow-up webinar, presented by Barney Angliss, will continue the focus on improving SEND learner outcomes through best practice provision and will introduce the newly-published ‘researchED Guide to special educational needs: An evidence informed guide for teachers.’ The session will also be supported by practitioner case studies from high performing school settings.
