This annual online South West SENCo conference promotes the role of Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCos) in improving relational approaches in schools. We question what works in schools and how we can draw on research and examples from practice to drive school improvement. It is in this light that SENCos hold a strategic role to improve inclusive practice and outcomes for children and young people through the implementation of relational approaches at schools.
This conference provides a forum for local authority staff, educational leaders, SENCos and practitioners to share ideas and practice, to network and ask questions. Researchers and practitioners from across the region will share their research on a range of topics related to inclusion.
Our keynote speakers are Chris Lore, Head of the Spaghetti Bridge, and Catherine Dunnett and Matt Jones, Educational Psychologists at Devon County Council. Chris’s work supports the design and implementation of inclusive practice through an innovative curriculum and pedagogy that prioritises relational learning. Catherine and Matt have extensive experience in attachment-based mentoring and relational learning training on professional development programmes.
