As part of EPNE, a SEND Centre for Excellence, we are now delivering a range of programmes reflecting the 'People' theme of the Education Training Foundation (ETF) SEND Centres for Excellence, which prioritises developing staff confidence, skills, and resilience in meeting the needs of diverse learners.
The sessions are designed for a wide audience across Further Education settings, including teachers, curriculum managers, leaders, governors, support staff, and pastoral teams.
Our current training sessions have now finished. We will be running more sessions in the future and will share further details on website once these have been confirmed.

This delivery plan sets out a structured programme of professional development sessions designed to strengthen inclusive practice across post-16 education, with a focus on supporting learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Each session has been aligned with the ETF Professional Standards to ensure that provision is underpinned by national expectations for teaching and learning.
