Completion of the National Award in SEN Co-ordination has been mandatory for the teacher designated as the SENCo since 2009. New SENCos must gain this qualification within three years of taking up their SENCo post. This will remain mandatory for the 2023/24 academic year whilst the Department for Education consider proposals to replace the NA SENCo with a National Professional Qualification (NPQ). Passing the course entitles candidates to use 60 credits at Master’s level towards an MA in SEN and Inclusion. The programme is taught by experienced senior lecturers from the Faculty of Health, Education and Society alongside local authority and teaching school partners who have expertise in Special Educational Needs. This programme is Quality Assured through the national Provider Partnership Leading Learning for SEND and endorsed by nasen.
The course is taught at local venues across the East Midlands following the launch day at our Waterside Campus which will take place on Saturday 18th November 2023 (to be confirmed).

Some of the teaching content is based on the systems used locally, such as multi-agency support, identification and funding, so you should select the area most relevant to the Local Authority of your school.
