Ian Edwards, an expert SENCO consultant with over 20 years of experience, leads iSEND Consultancy. Holding a NASENCO qualification, Ian advocates for inclusive education through our services, empowering schools to implement effective SEND strategies for lasting change.

Our team collaborates with schools to ensure that strategies align with context, resources, and student needs. We provide continuous development, regular check-ins, CPD sessions, and reviews to support schools in maintaining inclusive education practices. Our objective audits of SEND provisions identify gaps and implement evidence-based solutions.

Our SEND consultancy approach focuses on four key pillars: Identify,  Implement, Invest and Impact. We begin by identifying the specific needs of students, staff, and the whole school culture through a detailed audit. From there, We invest in tailored strategies that align with the school's goals. These strategies are then implemented collaboratively to ensure sustainable change. The result is maximum impact on student outcomes, staff development, and the overall inclusivity of the school environment

Through a collaborative approach, We work closely with leadership teams, staff, and stakeholders to identify gaps and strengths in current SEND provisions. Together, we co-create actionable plans designed to implement effective strategies, ensuring maximum impact on student success and staff capabilities.
