Charity wins funding to boost SEND expertise of early years staff

Special educational needs charity nasen has secured £315,000 of DfE funding for an SEND training and resources project, with Nursery World as one of the partners.

Nasen (National Association for Special Educational Needs) will lead the project, which is aiming to provide crucial support and training to early years practitioners in settings including nurseries and Reception classes, to help them identify and support children with SEND.

The project is intended to improve outcomes for more than 50,000 children in early years provision across the country.

Nasen will be co-ordinating a number of groups to meet and reflect on best practice, resulting in a series of informative webcasts, resources and a training package.

The project will also support an increase in the number of early years settings offering places, including the free entitlement, to children with SEND.
