SEND

We are incredibly proud of this young learner's progress after just 4 weeks of working with one of our specialist tutors.

At Specialist SEND Group, we carefully match our tutors with each learner to ensure a positive relationship can be built from the very beginning. When trust, consistency, and the right support are in place, young people are given the opportunity to rebuild confidence and thrive in their education.

The difference between these two pieces of work demonstrates the impact that tailored, one-to-one support can have in a short period of time.

Every young person deserves access to an education that meets their individual needs, wherever they are on their learning journey.

If you're a Local Authority, school, or professional looking for specialist tutoring support for young people who are currently out of education or require alternative provision, we'd be happy to discuss how we can help.

What’s the biggest challenge in SEND right now?

1. Staffing shortages
2. Behaviour support
3. Lack of funding
4. Training gaps

5 signs a young person's behaviour is linked to unmet needs

It’s understandable to want to correct disruptive behaviour, but unless we address the underlying cause, the same behaviour is most likely to continue.

Rather than viewing it as a lesson disruption, we can reframe it by focusing on the need behind the behaviour to help support the young person and get to the root cause!

Creating a safe classroom environment and being consistent in small check-ins can help build up trust in relationships

Mental Health Awareness Week is more than a campaign 🧠🩷

For many young people in education, especially those with additional needs! mental health impacts every part of their learning experience.

Anxiety is labelled as disengagement
Emotional overwhelm is mistaken for behaviour
Struggles are missed until crisis point

This year’s theme is Take Action! Here are some small actions that can make a big difference to well-being 🩷
