About Us
Buckinghamshire Council’s Integrated SEN Service have designed a traded bespoke, high-quality training programme. Our training will be delivered by a range of local authority professionals, including specialist teachers and educational psychologists. Our training will support the learning and development of educational professionals, whilst supporting our I-SEND Service Ambitions.
We recognise that delivering the best possible outcomes for children is the main priority of all providers of education and training. I-SEND aim to help school leaders and governors deliver a great education to all children and young people in Buckinghamshire, allowing them, regardless of their starting point, to realise their potential and embark on a positive and exciting future.
Our services are delivered by our team of SEND experts who care passionately about supporting schools to secure the best possible outcomes for their pupils and students. We are building the capacity and expertise within the team and plan to launch additional services, which meet the needs of teaching and support staff throughout this academic year and beyond.
