“Excellent morning, one of the best trainings I’ve attended in a long time.”

Governors
While most schools have a SEND Governor, ensuring the ongoing achievement and success of SEND learners is a collective responsibility of the governing body. It is, therefore, the role of every governing body to ensure that no learner is treated less favourably or denied opportunity because they have additional needs.
Following the launch of the 2018 SEND Governance Review Guide, Driver Youth Trust is offering training to governing board members so they can hold leaders to account for the education of all learners including those with SEND.
Training opportunities are available in the North and South of England. Express your interest below to be notified of upcoming training dates.
Initial Teacher Education
We provide teacher training sessions on literacy, SEND and inclusion. These sessions draw on the latest educational research and will complement your initial teacher or NQT programme. Make sure your teacher trainees are fully equipped to support every child in their classrooms. See examples of training delivered below.
