SEN students are statistically more likely to suffer a mental health issue so it is important that SENCos and SEN staff are aware of this and know how to support the mental health of SEN students.

Social Emotional and Mental Health is an area of need according to the SEND Code of Practice but it can be difficult knowing how to support the mental health of SEN students.

What are the legal obligations, what support is available for the Mental Health of SEN students?

This short course is designed to provide SENCos and SEN support staff with the knowledge and understanding to enable them to effectively support the mental health of SEN students and improve practice in their setting to ensure it is a protective rather than risk factor.
