Dear Colleague
I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to let you know about an important message from nasen:As a leading charitable membership organisation, committed to ensuring our expertise in SEND is available to every school and setting, which is why from January 2021, we will be making nasen membership free for all individuals across the UK.
Now more than ever, it is important that every part of the education workforce – from SENCOs to senior leaders, teachers to TAs, local authorities to leadership boards and beyond - is equipped to understand, identify and support those with SEND and learning differences.
Membership benefits
From Monday January 4 2021, a wide range of benefits will be available to the education workforce including:
● Access to the most up to date information and support rooted in research and evidence-informed practice to support SENCOs, senior leaders, teachers, teaching assistants, local authorities, leadership boards and others to become effective, inclusive practitioners
● Exclusive online access to nasen Connect magazine six times a year, packed with advice, analysis and opinions on the current topics and future trends impacting on the SEND workforce
● A monthly member newsletter, sector newsflash and other regular e-communications featuring news, practical advice, training and CPDL tips, policy and sector updates and partner discounts from a range of selected SEND organisations
● Updates from the Whole School SEND Consortium, hosted by nasen, sharing free resources including the Whole School SEND Review Guides, research, “What Works” signposting and CPDL training programme including webinars
● Continued access to our comprehensive SEND Gateway, a one-stop-shop for SEND, home to information and resources from the Whole School SEND Consortium alongside wider SEND publications, events and the independent SEND Forums.
nasen's new SEND services
In addition, a new range of paid-for SEND services will also be available throughout the UK and internationally for individuals, schools and settings.
