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.
