Childminders - Role of the SENCO E-Learning
Who should access this course?
This course will offer newly registered Childminders all the information they would need to support children that may have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), but also be an excellent refresher course for any childminders that have not completed a role of the SENCO course within the last 3 years.
What will I learn on the course?
The course covers all aspects of supporting a child with SEND, including statutory responsibilities, SEND processes and paperwork, Early Years Support, early intervention and delivering quality inclusive practice.
How is the course delivered?
This training is now available as a 6-module course specifically written for childminders that can be downloaded as an E-Learning from the Knowledge HUB and completed at home in your own time. Each module comprises of a power point presentation with accompanying notes, workbook and resources. On completion of each module your allocated Area SENCO will evaluate your completed workbook and offer support and guidance before moving onto to next module, ensuring you are fully supported throughout your training and any questions you have can be answered.
How do I access the course?

Your Area SENCo will contact you and send you the passwords to access the modules.
SEND Help! Clinics for Early Years Practitioners
As part of our commitment to supporting practitioners across the Local Authority from a wide range of settings and localities we are launching a new supportive clinic focusing on SEND.
These clinics will be facilitated by the Area SENCO team and will involve small groups designed to allow practitioners to share questions or concerns in a safe, confidential and supportive space. No children will be named or identifiable during the meeting to ensure confidentiality.
There will be an opportunity to share ideas and ask any questions you may have regarding supporting children with SEND. The meetings will be run termly and virtually via MS Teams (Later dates may be face to face if settings request this and a suitable venue is available)
Dates will be published in the FISH mailout and bookable by requesting a place via the Early Years Support Inbox (eyst@eastriding.gov.uk)
Monday 13th November 10-11am with Rebecca Stephenson and Claire Neumann
Wednesday 15th November 10-11am with Rachel Straker and Rachael Oldroyd
Friday 17th November 10-11am with Rachel Elliott and Kathryn Berry
Our EYST support services team will send you a link and joining instructions.
Once you have booked a place we ask that you also email your Area SENCO to share a brief description of the question/query or concern you would like to discuss so we can best prepare for the clinic.
You will need to have a camera and microphone option on your computer/tablet/phone. You will have the option to ask questions at certain points during the session, however, we want to ensure we cover all participants queries during the session so if you would like to discuss further with your allocated Area SENCO please email them directly to arrange a separate conversation or support.
