Course Summary

Children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) have the right to educational support that values and respects them as learners, and takes account of their individual requirements. Why Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and Inclusion? * Whether you are interested in pursuing a career in teaching, support work, the charitable sector, within Local Authorities, early years, further education or many other possibilities, this course will equip you with the knowledge and practical experience you need. * You'll examine how policy and legislation have contributed to our understanding of children and young people with SEND. You'll also explore theories of development and learning, and consider how these can be used to underpin practice in supporting these learners. * While you're here, you'll learn from professionals with a wealth of experience in a range of educational and SEND contexts, and have the opportunity to reflect on how your learning can be applied to practice, with placements in different settings across the course. Additional Costs: * Your placements could be in Huddersfield or surrounding areas, so please consider any travelling costs you may incur. * A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required to enable you to undertake placements in settings with children. We arrange this as part of the application process. Please note that there may be a charge for the DBS check.
