World-class CPD accredited content

Around two in five children are recorded to have some kind of special educational need at some point between reception and Year 11 (Hutchinson, 2021*). Based on this it is likely that there is a child with special educational needs and disabilities in every classroom, making SEND a part of every teacher and school leader’s role 

This year at Bett we will have 40+ sessions across 9 different content areas. We are putting inclusion at the forefront, ensuring that SEND education is not just an add-on but a core part of the conversation.

  • With the SEND Village, I am delighted that Bett recognises the importance of enhancing educational outcomes for children with SEND. As educators, we should be aware however, that strategies designed for children with SEND can benefit all children as they may promote inclusive and personalised learning environments. Such strategies include advances in technology which can enhance accessibility and engagement. For this reason, any educator committed to offering the best possible opportunities for their pupils should visit Bett’s SEND Village. We are proud to be part of the SEND Village and to share Bett’s vision to help facilitate equitable access to education for all.
