Children with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities are more likely than their peers to experience online issues such as cyberbullying or exploitation. SENDCOs play a central role in keeping children with SEND safe online, ensuring relevant policies are adhered to, co-ordinating SEND provision and providing the necessary support that vulnerable learners need.
