During September 2021, Annual Review virtual training sessions were held for Somerset Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) and those responsible for SEND in their education setting.
The training was rooted in the SEN Code of Practice and covered:
- Common misconceptions surrounding the Annual Review process
- Timescales for the process
- How Annual Review due dates are calculated
- Expectations for both SENCOs and SEND team members
- Completing the Annual review report
- What needs to happen before requesting an early Annual Review.
A Q&A session ended the event. Questions were answered by Somerset County Council's Poppy Tuck, SEND Operations Manager, and Ysanne Marville, Senior Educational Psychologist.
