SEN inclusive practice
Our SEN support and inclusion team aims to be responsive to the fluctuating needs of schools and every year we use Kent analytics data to inform the equitable delivery of our available resource.
Our SEN inclusion advisors (IA) will be working as smaller teams within areas (North, West, South and East) and this arrangement will provide joined up support and cover in the event of staff absence as well as offering a range of knowledge and experience.
The link SEN IA for each school has been in touch with the SENCO in early September to introduce themselves and will be emailing every week with the forthcoming time and day for their SEN IA surgery for SENCOs.

We do not provide a direct parent support service, but we can offer suggestions about how to approach your child’s school if you have concerns about SEND provision and work with the school to improve matters.
Parents and carers of children with an EHC Plan can make contact with the SEN support and inclusion team by sending a message to seninclusionadviseers@kent.gov.uk
Support for parents and carers is available from IASK.
