Specialist Spotlight: An introduction to teaching learners with physical needs (Secondary / FE)

Join us for a FREE discussion exploring an introduction to teaching learners with physical needs in primary settings.

Featuring Jane Carter: My current role is Education Delivery Lead within Warwickshire’s SEND Integrated Services, with overall responsibility for specialist teaching teams, including the local authority’s Flexible Learning Team, working with learners out of school due to ill health. I have also managed Warwickshire’s Statementing Service. I am an experienced senior secondary leader, having taught in schools in Birmingham, Staffordshire, and Wolverhampton. I have been a Senior European Foundation for Quality Management Assessor for Midlands Excellence and a C4EO Disability Sector Specialist. I am Chair of pdnet, an organisation representing professionals who work to improve outcomes for learners with physical disabilities. I am also a qualified Coach.

The discussion will be hosted by Whole School SEND’s National Delivery Coordinator, Caroline Sutton-Reid, and everyone will be encouraged to join in, ask questions and share experiences. As such, content will be responsive but may cover some or all of the following themes:

• The challenges facing learners with physical needs, and how their needs might affect their experience of school or college
• How practice can be adapted to include learners with physical needs, and 
• The importance of working closely with learners with physical needs, their families and the range of other professionals who support them.

The discussion builds on our online SEND CPD units, each one can be completed in under an hour. While everyone is welcome to take part in the session, delegates who have completed the corresponding unit content in preparation are likely to find the sessions particularly helpful.

Due to the interactive nature of these sessions, recordings will not be made available after the event.
