Target Audience/Eligibility Criteria

All members of the General Practice Workforce should have an awareness of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014 and how this impacts on their work role. This training is aimed at adults with a role to play in the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) system in particular to giving health advice.  There are three options and each one is for a different audience.

 

Course Aim

The Council for Disabled Children have developed an e-learning programme to support health practitioners understand the duties set out in the Children and Families Act and the implications for health practice.

The Children and Families Act introduced  changes in how education, health and social care services are organised and delivered for disabled children and young people and those with special educational needs.  The course will help you understand the role of good advice in the plan.

Option 3 is intended for Health colleagues who:
