By the end of the modules we would expect participants to have a sound understanding of the areas of law covered and be able to use that knowledge to obtain an EHC plan for their child or to advise and support a parent to do so.  Participants should also be able to understand issues involved in challenging an exclusion from school or disability discrimination involving a school.  The modules covered in this online course are:

  1. Children and Young People with SEND: the legal framework
  2. The Duties on Local Authorities, Schools and FE Institutions
  3. EHC Needs Assessments
  4. EHC Plans, Personal Budgets and Direct Payments
  5. Naming a School or FE Institution
  6. Changing Plans
  7. Rights of Appeal to SEND and Mediation
  8. Disability Discrimination (Introduction to the Equality Act 2010)
  9. SEND Tribunal procedure
  10. Exclusions

This online learning is suitable as a stand-alone course of study, but is also designed to complement our Level 1 / Elementary Training Day.  Combining the training in this way will offer participants an opportunity to fully consolidate their learning and to deal with individual queries on the course content.

I really liked how the content was carefully layered, with each next section building on previous knowledge to allow more complex understanding. The law was well laid out and the short tests were helpful in cementing knowledge learnt during the reading phase.
