SEND inclusion is still not truly understood or embraced by all practitioners. A truly inclusive setting should be providing children with the right opportunities to explore and learn irrespective of their individual needs. Very often it is the behaviour of children that receives the attention though.
Our range of SEND in the Early Years courses very much look at the practical requirements to deliver a supportive environment for all children, whatever their needs might be. It is our belief that by meeting the individual needs of these children then the setting becomes a calmer and smoother running provision. Our training courses identify with this and look to empowering practitioners to create a calm and interesting environment for all children with or without SEND.
Within the courses we offer there is an in-depth look at the legislative requirements under the SEND Code of Practice. This outlines the considerations and the framework for creating a fully inclusive setting. It starts with the understanding of what is meant by inclusivity and looks at the key changes and adaptations that can be made easily to incorporate an individual’s child’s needs.
We are also conscious of the important role that the SENCO has to play in ensuring practitioners follow the plans put in place for children. Our SENCO course not only outlines these responsibilities it also looks at the aspects of working with the parents and liaising with other professionals along the child’s journey. Providing opportunities to discuss the role in order that they can be as effective as possible as SENCO to the setting.
Our SEND courses can also be delivered as bespoke courses and include more specific training on children with particular needs e.g. those with Autism or ADHD.
I recently had the pleasure to take part in the leadership and management training with Emma Beard from MBK. Emma was welcoming, friendly and professional. She made many of us, new to the management role, feel confident to share any worries or queries within the group. The activities and tasks were well presented and added valuable knowledge and understanding of what our roles would consist of. Resources and materials needed were provided in advance to allow all participants to feel confident to engage in break out discussions and present ideas of what we thought was important in good management. Thank you for helping me feel ready to take the next step in my career!
MBK has helped so much as we have four settings and therefore many staff who need to keep Up to date with Early Years Training etc. MBK have a wide range of courses and dates that we are able to fit around different staff's working pattern, company positions and we can prioritise and plan accordingly.
The courses they attend are relevant and of interest and informative. Being with others from the workplace helps also as it prompts discussion and confidence.
Having the reassurance that we always have a reliable training provider to deliver several courses across the year relieves a lot of pressure on me, as a Manager. MBK are efficient and helpful, they take on board any suggestions for the content of courses, meaning they are tailored to our individual settings where possible. We are in our second year using MBK and would highly recommend.
It’s great how they share new information and include you all once you have attended one of their courses which are very interesting and encouraging. The file containing all areas of Ofsted EYFS is an easy tool when training Senior Staff.
The visits we have had with Tricia and her team have been wonderfully informative, lots of useful information that has proven to be very practical. The visits have assisted with the continued progression of the nursery curriculum and financial stability, along with supporting our self evaluation and staff development.
