This paper has case studies of seven providers showcasing effective practice in sourcing and providing specialist support for learners with SEND across their organisations.

Paper 2/9

This small-scale research was part of a suite of projects funded and commissioned by ETF as part of Future Apprenticeships. It identifies effective equality and diversity practice in apprenticeship delivery and support methods for apprentices with a disability or learning difficulties. This report includes case study examples to support providers to increase diversity in apprenticeships.

This online course introduces participants to systems thinking in a SEND context. It is intended to help managers of SEND provision (and those who work with them) to employ new forms of collaborative working which both are highly sensitive to individual needs and enable them to lead beyond their own organisation. It also offers guidance on how to make SEND an organisational priority.

This comprehensive set of case studies and related resources was created in 2013 as the sector prepared for the implementation of the SEND reforms. All the material was produced by clusters of post-16 providers working collaboratively with key partners. It is organised by theme and provides examples of outcomes achieved through partnership-working.
