New online SEND training for schools
As part of the Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) project we were responsible for delivering training to the schools involved in the programme. This training focussed on effective communication with parent carers. We are now making this training available online to all schools in Worcestershire. Spring term dates and booking details for these sessions can be found on our Engaging with Parent Carers in Schools (Worcestershire) | SENDIASS Training webpage. If you know of a school that might be interested, please let them know.
