The Department for Education’s Universal SEND Services programme provides Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) specific Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for school and further education staff.

The programme’s online CPD units support professionals to make high quality inclusive teaching the reality for every learner. The final unit in the series, ‘Supporting Reading and Comprehension Across the Curriculum’ is now available.  

Complete the new unit to learn more about:

• how to identify barriers to learners within the core building blocks of reading

• the essential role senior leaders, teachers, reading leads, SENCOs, support staff and others can play in identifying when a child needs support with reading

• how to apply practical strategies to use in the classroom as part of an inclusive approach
