Workplace: Who's in your meetings? - Nicola Young, SEN and disability officer, Pre-school Learning Alliance

1 min read
What exactly do you do? My role ensures that as an organisation we develop our inclusive ethos and practice for children with special educational needs and disabilities.

I help develop policies, provide advice to parents and practitioners, develop training packages and produce publications.

Describe a typical day. There is no such thing as a typical day. Today I have been preparing a questionnaire to send to pre-schools and primary schools as part of a new project. I also spoke to a pre-school management committee chairperson and a practitioner about the Disability Discrimination Act.

What other organisations, and who else within your organisation, do you work with? I work closely with other voluntary agencies such as the National Childminding Association. I contribute towards government consultation relating to the early years sector. I also work closely with other departments within our organisation.
