Aim: This webinar will provide you with advice and practical guidance on effectively adapting assessments to meet the needs of pupils with complex SEND, at the same time, adopting a strengths-based mindset which focuses first on what pupils can do, rather than on what they can’t. 

Rationale: The number of pupils with identified SEND is increasing year on year, bringing with it the challenge of ensuring that all assessments are carried out effectively, and taking account of the needs of each learner. The SEND code of practice: 0 – 25 years statutory guidance underlines the importance of “seeking to understand the interests, strengths and motivations of children and young people and use this as a basis for planning support around them”.
