We work with mainstream schools, including academies and free schools, to support them to meet the needs of their learners with SEND. We work with other departments in the council and health, to help schools fulfil their duties set out in the Equality Act 2010, the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015.

We do this through:

  • SEND Know How, to inspire, inform and empower through a professional development suite that includes conferences, videos, workshops, SEND forums, webinars, ITT links, presentations, NQT training and Norfolk SENDCo Now training.
  • Targeted support
  • Offering advice and challenge
  • Co-producing the SEN Support Guidance: provision expected at SEN Support

The Inclusion and SEND team oversees the allocation of Element 3 SEN funding for schools from the high needs block (HNB).

We want to ensure that all Norfolk schools feel supported by us and have an inclusive culture.

We foster relationships with other agencies working within the field of SEND, including local groups and national organisations. General Information

Karen started to understand the importance of Widgit symbols as a communication tool when her son, who has severe autism, began using them. As a language teacher, she was really interested in learning how to use the software to produce resources to support her family.

She began to offer training and support to families, schools, local service providers in the community and to create a range of resources to help others. Karen states that, ‘Symbols are a great tool, not only for children with additional needs, but they can also be implemented very successfully in a mainstream setting.’
