Best Practice Network will deliver the training programme for up to 5,000 early years SENCos, with a range of partners including nursery groups– Kids Planet Day Nurseries, Snapdragons and LEYF, as well as a number of local authorities, training provider Elklan and the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA).

The aim of the qualification is to increase the number of Level 3 qualified SENCos in nurseries and childminder settings.

Delivery of the four-month training programme will start in the Autumn. It will include online facilitated training, mentoring and online study. Learners will have access to a group discussion forum and ‘communities of good practice’, as well as build up an e-portfolio of learning for final assessment.
