Course summary

Overview

Explore the practices, pedagogies and policies in SEND today - and create truly inclusive learning spaces.

On this course, you’ll examine how educational policy and practices impact children with additional and varied needs. You’ll explore the latest theory and research on inclusion. You’ll examine data and scrutinise policy. And you’ll explore topics like:

emotional development & attachment
social, emotional and mental health needs
speech, language and communication needs
more complex learner profiles

You’ll develop an authoritative understanding of evidence-informed practices that can support children with additional and varied needs. And you’ll know how, when and where to use them. You’ll gain new insights into your own practice or organisational culture. And you’ll be able to confidently create learning environments where all children can experience care, belonging and success.

You’ll graduate ready to effect change - in your individual practice, across your school, or through research.
