Effective practitioners reflect on their own practice and undertake continuous professional development. The Early Years SENDCO will:

• understand:
  • own responsibilities to children with SEND, their carers/parents
  • the setting’s approach to identifying and meeting SEND
  • how to determine reliability of evidence of the effectiveness of provision
• assess own skills and competencies, identify any gaps and next steps in professional development.
• identify and use training and other sources of support to address own development needs.
• keep up to date with meeting the setting’s needs.
