Making SEN Make SENse

Welcome to SENDCO Solutions, where expertise meets excellence in special educational needs support. Led by Abigail Hawkins, a seasoned SEN specialist with over 25 years of experience as a SENCO, our company is dedicated to ensuring that your school and staff stay fully compliant with the SEND Code of Practice while effectively addressing SEN challenges.

Abigail, renowned as both the “SENSible SENCO” on social media and the “SENDCOs SENDCO” in publications, possesses a unique ability to solve complex SEN issues while maintaining strict adherence to legal requirements. With her at the helm, we provide comprehensive guidance and support to SENCOs, governors, heads, and senior leadership teams in developing their school’s SEN program.

At SENDCO Solutions, we understand that each school is unique and requires a tailored approach to SEN provision. Our flagship service, the Whole School SEN Review, offers a thorough evaluation of your school’s current SEN practices and provides detailed recommendations for future development. We are frequently commissioned to deliver keynote speeches, CPD training sessions, and comprehensive SEN review packages for schools, local authorities, and multi-academy trusts.

In addition to supporting schools, SENDCO Solutions also collaborates with educational companies to develop and promote SEN products that have a meaningful impact on the targeted student population. Our expertise extends beyond the educational sector, as we have successfully assisted non-educational settings in crafting robust inclusion policies. Furthermore, we take pride in our partnership with United Learning, where we have played a pivotal role in creating one of the most esteemed teaching assistant apprenticeship programs available.

By choosing SENDCO Solutions, you are investing in a wealth of experience, knowledge, and a commitment to ensuring that every child receives the support they deserve. Together, let’s navigate the intricate landscape of SEN provision, embracing compliance, and empowering excellence in education.

YOUR SCHOOL:

Through our extensive experience in supporting and reviewing schools, we have identified several ways in which a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) can effectively save time and resolve issues using intuitive methods. Our collaboration with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and governors enables us to accurately assess the strengths and areas for development in the school’s provision for special educational needs. We take pride in conducting comprehensive whole-school reviews of SEN practices. If you are seeking an evaluation of your current approach, our esteemed consultancy services can provide high-end and proven solutions. Our involvement ensures a more organised SEN framework, resulting in cost and time savings.

Moreover, we offer a diverse range of tailored Continuous Professional Development (CPD) sessions that have garnered significant popularity. These sessions are designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of educators in addressing special educational needs effectively.
