The new free membership aims to ensure that the organisation’s expertise in SEND is available to all early years settings and schools across the UK from January 2021.
It will include access to shared information, research, continuing professional development and learning (CPDL) training and webinars hosted by nasen, in order to support every child with SEND to achieve their potential.
Professor Adam Boddison, CEO at nasen, said, ‘Now more than ever, it is important that every part of the education workforce – from SENCOs to senior leaders, teachers to TAs, local authorities to leadership boards and beyond - is equipped to understand, identify and support those with SEND and learning differences.
‘By opening access to our membership for free, we can collectively work to ensure all children and young people – particularly those with SEND and learning differences - can succeed in education and thrive. Breaking down the barriers that impact children and young people’s participation in education is even more critical following the long period of social upheaval that all families and professionals have experienced.’
In addition to the free membership offer, nasen will continue to lead targeted programmes and projects to deliver widespread improvements, including offering a new range of paid-for SEND services in the UK and internationally.
