Bromley Education Matters
Bromley Education Matters is the single point of access for information for all Bromley education providers. The website is aimed to provide our schools, settings, providers and other partners with ready access to key information, guidance and training opportunities to support in meeting the educational needs of our children, young people and adults.
School SENCo Hub
Bromley’s SENCO Hub aims to provide Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) with the most up-to-date and relevant information and resources to support the development of outstanding provision for all children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
The SENCO Hub includes quick-read information leaflets, forms for referrals to local agencies, online training for professionals, web links to leading local and national organisations and a comprehensive bank of resources across all categories of need.
The SEND service
The SEND service works in partnership with families, education settings, providers and professionals across education, health and care. One of the main areas of the service is to coordinate the statutory assessment process, in line with the SEND Code of Practice.
The service works closely with schools and settings to support children and young people with SEND, both those with a statutory Education, Health and Care plan (EHC plan, often referred to as EHCP) and those without (SEND support).
Bromley Safeguarding Children Partnership
The Bromley Safeguarding Children Partnership includes early years and education establishments, health commissioners and providers, Local Authority, Metropolitan Police, probation and justice services, CAFCASS, voluntary and community sector as well as lay members.
Working in partnership, their main role is to coordinate what is done locally to protect and promote the welfare of children and young people in the Bromley and to monitor the effectiveness of those arrangements.
Bromley SEND collaborative training offer
The SEND collaborative training brochure offers high quality, evidence-based SEND training and development opportunities for practitioners in Bromley schools and early years settings.
Following the positive feedback from last year’s training, we have once again worked together to develop a comprehensive training offer that will develop the skills, confidence and expertise of our workforce, across the early years, primary and secondary sector, in meeting the diverse needs of children with special educational needs and disability.
