The SecEd Podcast: How to be a great SENCO

This episode looks at how to be an effective SENCO – considering best practice in the role, key duties, and how we can carry these out to a high standard.

Our experts discuss what a SENCO can and should do in order to be effective, and how we can overcome common challenges – including insufficient time for the role and high workload.

We offer advice for someone who is new to the role and we discuss tips for engaging with (supporting & empowering) teaching staff, as well as handling difficult colleagues who expect too much. We also discuss parental engagement.
