Training Opportunities and Resources

For working with children and young people with SEND

Engaging children and young people is key to creating positive and enjoyable activity experiences. Taking time to understand individual interests, strengths and support needs can help children and young people feel welcomed, valued and confident to participate.

This page brings together practical resources, tools and guidance to help activity providers create inclusive, accessible and engaging opportunities for children and young people with SEND.

Continuous Professional Development

Training should be viewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-off activity. Regular professional development can help providers improve the quality of their provision, increase confidence when supporting children and young people with SEND, and ensure activities remain welcoming, accessible and inclusive for all participants.
