Empower all teachers to be teachers of SEND – without burning out your SENDCO

Inclusion cannot sit with one person. Yet across schools, SENCOs are overloaded, teachers lack confidence, and impact feels unclear.

SENshine Embrace changes this.

It does this by:

  • Giving every teacher the tools and guidance to better meet diverse classroom needs.
  • Enhancing SENCOs’ capacity for leadership, quality assurance and strategic oversight.
