Among special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs), almost three quarters (72 per cent) felt their schools had experienced challenges in providing support to children with education, health and care plans (EHCP) during lockdown.
Increased workload and a lack of support are factors in SENCOs’ concerns, according to the research by Bath Spa University and the National Association for Special Education Needs (Nasen).
The National SENCO Workforce Survey 2020 found that SENCOs have been faced with extra management tasks and paperwork in areas such as safeguarding, risk assessments and responding to “changing national guidance”.
