Virtual School for SEND

The Virtual School for Special Education Needs and Disabilities SEND) is a service for educators.

We work with mainstream schools, including academies and free schools, to support them to meet the needs of their learners with SEND. We work with other departments in the council and health, to help schools fulfill their duties set out in the Equality Act 2010, the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015. We do this through:

  • SEND Know How, to inspire, inform and empower through a professional development suite that includes conferences, videos, workshops, SEND forums, webinars, ITT links, presentations, NQT training and Norfolk SENDCo Now training.
  • Targeted support
  • Offering advice and challenge
  • Co-producing the SEN Support Guidance: provision expected at SEN Support

The Virtual SEND oversees the allocation of Element 3 SEN funding for schools from the high needs block (HNB).

We want to ensure that all Norfolk schools feel supported by us and have an inclusive culture. We foster relationships with other agencies working within the field of SEND, including local groups and national organisations.
