Hertfordshire valuing SEND training - VSEND
As part of SEND Transformation in Hertfordshire, Valuing SEND will standardise the approach to identifying needs earlier and improving outcomes for children and young people.
Following on from our successful trials, we are now launching the roll out of our Hertfordshire Valuing SEND tool and training for professionals including education, health and social care teams and any other professionals who may come into contact with VSEND through the course of their usual work.
