HCR’s SEN workshop

We are pleased to offer an SEN Workshop for academies and maintained schools. We are seeing across the sector an increase in schools being named in EHCPs despite the school being wholly unsuitable for a multitude of reasons. Managing these unsuitable placements is challenging for many schools.

Our SEN Workshop is designed to guide your school in managing this challenging issue, ensuring that you comply with the requirements of the Children and Families Act 2014 and Department for Education guidance, whilst prioritising the needs of the child.

The SEN Workshop covers the following topics and can be provided in-person or online by our specialist education team:

• The EHCP consultation process
• Navigating the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Conduct
• Practical considerations, including reasonable adjustments and the risks of not admitting the child
• Challenging an unsuitable placement
• Recent case law
• Making a complaint to the Secretary of State
• Judicial review

If you would like to discuss our SEN Workshop, or if you would like our support in challenging a placement or making a complaint to the Secretary of State, please get in touch with Emma Swann.
