In this webinar, for teachers and school leaders working in both the primary and secondary phases, our expert panel discusses the barriers to education and social development that SLCN create and how we can help our pupils to overcome these.

We discussed:

• The prevalence of SLCN, especially since Covid, and the extent to which these needs go unidentified and undiagnosed.
• How teachers and school staff can spot the signs of unidentified SLCN and what steps we can take to support our pupils.
• Case studies from a primary and a secondary school, looking in depth at the work they do to identify and support SLCN and what lessons they have learned along the way.

The webinar also included an audience Q&A.
