About
Department for Education awarded a contract to Best Practice Network Ltd for the delivery of accredited Level 3 training to up to 5,000 Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) in group-based and childminder settings across England.
The training, valued at AUD 5,878,767, was required to take place between September 2022 and 31 August 2024 and result in an accredited Level 3 Early Years SENCO qualification.
The initiative aimed to increase specialist expertise in SEND, particularly in light of reduced opportunities to identify and address SEND among children not yet of compulsory school age due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
