SEND Workforce Development

This webpage now lists the wide range of SEND training available to Sheffield settings from a number of providers. This is part of the Workforce Development area of the whole city SEND and Inclusion Strategy. This new approach is a work in progress and we are hoping to make it easier to locate specific training from a number of providers by listing it all on this webpage.

The training has been separated by the areas of healthy child development and to reflect the broad areas of need by the SEND Code of Practice (Communication and Interaction / Cognition and Learning / Social, Emotional and Mental Health / Sensory and/or Physical), plus one category for systems and processes. Please use the buttons below to navigate to the area of training that you are looking for.

Where no dates or locations are listed on the website, this is because there are multiple dates available and these are listed on the Eventbrite booking page. Costs to settings have been indicated as applicable.

For any queries or feedback about this new approach, please contact enquiries@learnsheffield.co.uk.

ASCETS Team Training Update

The ASCETS Team is delighted to be part of the nationwide SEND reforms.

As part of the expansion from individual council teams to a central SEND Education/Health and Care Service, bringing together Advisory Teaching Services the Educational Psychology Team and Health colleagues, we are currently reviewing and updating our centralised training offer.

This will ensure that all internal staff are confident and proficient in delivering the new Neuroinclusive Education Network training materials, while also helping us provide a balanced and comprehensive training programme across all stages of SEND.

Workforce development opportunities will continue to be available through Autumn Term from your school's ASCETS Link Teacher and advisory support staff. These will include agreed interventions, modelling and tailored advice. To access these opportunities, please speak directly with your ASCETS Link Teacher.

We are excited to launch our refreshed training offer in Spring 2027 which will be available on the Local Offer/Digital Links embedded into the email signature of advisory teaching staff plus here at Learn Sheffield.

If you have any questions prior to this, please contact Laura.Chambers@sheffield.gov.uk
