Aimed at teaching assistants, teachers, head teachers, SENCOs, and advisory staff, OLT's 'access to learning' webinar series shares SEND support strategies that help you identify the starting point of need, remove barriers to learning participation, promote learning independence and build self-esteem for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
All sessions offer learning insights from leading voices in SEND and the opportunity to share ideas and participate in live discussions. OLT’s ‘Certificate of Attendance’ evidences your commitment to CPD and is available for free to our members or costs only £9 for guests.

Background to the series
Before the COVID pandemic, Ofsted carried out a qualitative case study to determine how the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) were being met, and whether support approaches varied between education providers. Based on the testimony of 21 pupils, their parents, teachers, support staff and staff based in external agencies, this limited yet focused review provides us with a unique window into the ways in which SEND provision and practice could be improved, through increased knowledge and targeted professional training.
