As a result, special needs association Nasen has launched a campaign calling on ministers and schools to do more to ensure education professionals get the support they need to help cope with pupils’ needs.
The Every Teacher campaign was launched at the House of Commons last month and has five key messages:
Every teacher is responsible for every pupil in their class.
Every teacher is accountable for every pupil’s progress.
Every teacher is entitled to high quality professional development.
Every teacher should understand the individual needs of all their pupils.
Every teacher should have the support of a qualified and experienced SENCO.
To support their aims, Nasen is calling for all schools to commit to one in five INSET days being solely focused on SEN and disabilities training. The campaign will also provide a “conduit for information between ministers, school leaders, SENCOs, teachers, governors and SEN and disability professionals” to raise awareness of key issues.
