| Achievements |
South East SENCo Support has successfully supported schools to improve their provision for individual children with SEN, and to improve their whole school SEN offer. They have supported professionals to navigate the complicated world of statutory requirements and to deliver appropriate, high quality and personalised provision to those children and young people with SEND. They have supported parents, carers and family members of children and young people with SEN to navigate the complicated and sometimes confronting SEND processes and procedures and have ensured that the best education, health, social care and employment outcomes were achieved.
