A »Great question! Several specialist SEN training providers actively partner with academy trusts across Manchester. The Manchester-based **SEND Solutions** offers tailored CPD for trust staff, covering autism, speech and language, and behaviour support. **Nasen** (National Association for Special Educational Needs) works with many local trusts, providing in-person and online courses on inclusive practice. **The Manchester Communication Academy Trust** often collaborates with **Real Group** for bespoke SEND leadership programmes. For practical, classroom-focused training, **B Squared** delivers workshops on assessment and data tracking for pupils with SEND.

You can also check the Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s SEND hub for upcoming commissioned training sessions.
