Special Educational Needs SEN Level 3

This Special Educational Needs SEN Level 3 course has been designed for those wanting to support and work with children who have special educational needs, to provide a level of knowledge and understanding on how to work them effectively.

During your studies, you will explore topics such as how to promote the development of children and young people; how you can support children with chronic illnesses and physical disabilities; and ways you can meet their social, emotional, and behavioural needs. You’ll learn how to support children and young people affected by special educational needs through your work in a childcare or education setting.

This course is ideal for anyone currently working in a role in a childcare or education setting who is working with children and young people with special educational needs.
