Send Gateway Description
The SEND Gateway is an online ‘one-stop-shop’ portal offering all education professionals free, easy access to high quality information, resources and training for meeting the needs of children and young people aged 0-25 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Developed by nasen, the UK’s leading professional association for SEND, the portal brings together a range of SEND resources from the voluntary, community and private sectors in one place for ease of access. This includes materials and professional support from a large number of voluntary and community organisations (VCOs) including the Autism Education Trust, the Council for Disabled Children, National Children’s Bureau, Dyslexia-SpLD Trust and The Communication Trust. Schools can also contribute their own best practice examples, case studies and additional materials for peer support and to help develop an evidence-based approach for effective practice.
Through the Gateway, all educators, particularly SENCOs and key workers, can develop new skills and understanding, stay up-to-date with reform, read the latest information from the Department for Education related to SEND, discuss issues in an online forum and access high quality CPD opportunities at local, regional and national levels.
