The organisation in question is ASEND - www.asend.co.uk - set up in the summer of 2010 to provide special educational needs and disability professionals into educational settings - primarily schools. ASEND will provide individual assessments and support programmes for SEN children and young people - but will major on whole school approaches to SEN support and inclusion.
There is a strong emphasis on multi-agency support, and the provision of a team with impeccable expertise and professionalism, and with the vision to draw in support across different disciplines.
Flourishing Consulting are providing business support on a one day a week basis - covering operational issues around the recruitment and assessment of potential ASEND Advisers - partnership development - and marketing ASEND through social media and events.
So far so good - we have a steady influx of new Advisers, and strong relationships developing with schools keen to involve ASEND in their SEN provision.
My personal angle is very much around inclusion and safeguarding - particularly where there may cultural barriers. With this in mind, I am writing an article for the Spring Edition of the SEN magazine drawing all these themes together.
