We were delighted to have worked today with staff at Brackenagh Busy Bees Playgroup delivering SEN awareness training.
The session focused on understanding SEN from the child's perspective and what we can do to support them throughout their day. Your commitment to see every child succeed is inspiring. We look forward to seeing you again❤️🙂
