In this course, you’ll learn how to:
Create environments where all children feel safe, valued, and able to participate.
Understand the barriers families with SEND face in public spaces and how to remove them.
Reduce anxiety before visits with low-cost preparation strategies like social stories, welcome videos, and friendly introductions.
Adapt your communication to meet different needs, improving understanding and behaviour.
Support children with sensory processing needs, even in busy or shared environments.
What you’ll get:
A CPD-accredited certificate upon passing a short online multiple choice exam.
A digital resource pack with an Inclusive Community Provider badge for your website or email.
The confidence and skills to welcome and support children with SEND in your setting.
