nasen

nasen (National Association of Special Educational Needs) is a charity organisation which has been operating for 25 years. We support thousands of education professionals by providing relevant knowledge, training and resources required to enable staff to meet all pupils’ needs and go on to ensure those children and young people reach their full potential. Working with those professionals, nasen aims to ensure that practice for special and additional needs is effective and current.

Whole School SEND (WSS) is a national network, hosted by nasen,dedicated to improving outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. We bring together settings, professionals, families and young people to develop inclusive practice that enables every learner to thrive.

Our Regional SEND Leaders offer practical, strategic support across local areas, helping schools and colleges strengthen inclusive practice.  They share expertise, facilitate collaboration and promote solutions shaped by the sector.

WSS leads delivery of the DfE’s Universal SEND Services Programme, supporting mainstream settings to remove barriers to learning and improve outcomes for every child and young person with SEND.
