Inclusion

Bristol is committed to ensuring that special educational needs provision for children in the early years is jointly planned and delivered and that children and families are able to access equitable services and provision across the city.

Training

Please see the Events Calendar for training opportunities provided by the Bristol Early Years Portage and Inclusion Team and Bristol Autism Team.

These include:

  • The Bristol Early Years SENCo: a one day training session on the role and responsibilities of an Early Years SENCo including Bristol Processes
  • Early Years SENCo Clusters: opportunities to come together once a term to hear about updates and to share ideas with colleagues in other providers.
  • Makaton: Makaton is a unique communication programme that uses symbols (pictures), signs (gestures) and speech to enable people to communicate. It supports the development of essential communication skills.

 

Bespoke Training is also available for early years settings through their Early Years Portage and Inclusion Specialist. This can be delivered as a twilight or inset day session

Bristol Early Years Teaching School offer a range of courses specifically relating to inclusion and children with special educational needs and disabilities.
