A one‑day, high‑impact course for PSHE leads, SENCOs, teachers and senior leaders working with learners with learning disabilities in special or specialist settings.   This is an interactive remote session with a mix of facilitator‑led input, small‑group activities and space for professional discussion. There are regular breaks throughout the 9.30–3.30 programme, and plenty of opportunities to share ideas, ask questions, gain reassurance, and connect with colleagues.   This is a foundation course that gives you the core knowledge and confidence to deliver effective, inclusive and compliant RSE/RSHE for learners with SEND. We’ll unpack current guidance, explore values and attitudes in SEND contexts, and look at how to create safe, accessible and engaging learning experiences for young people with a range of learning disabilities.   The session is grounded in real classroom challenges and situations that educators often feel alone in encountering. It offers clear, adaptable strategies you can personalise for each student you teach. You’ll leave with a strong foundation for shaping meaningful, needs‑led RSE in your own setting, alongside a digital pack of practical resources to support you after the training. By the end of the day, you will:  Understand the new RSHE guidance and what it means for teaching and learning in special schools  Recognise what high‑quality RSE looks like, with specific considerations for the SEND classrooms.
