Through the RISE contract, funded by the Department for Education, the Council for Disabled Children (CDC) conducted a SEND workforce survey, designed to understand workforce learning needs and identify key content for new training. CDC will deliver a series of training sessions following on from what was raised in the survey.
Each training session is intended for a different audience. These training sessions will take place online on MS Teams, at a range of times, as detailed below.
For ease, you can find all the trainings and their registration links via the CDC Events and Training Calendar.
