<p>We believe that all children and young people with special educational needs (SEN)
should be supported in schools, so they achieve well in their early years, at school
and in college.</p><p>The Government does not prescribe the content of initial teacher
training (ITT) courses. It is for ITT providers to use their professional judgement
to determine the content and structure of courses, but they must be designed so that
teacher trainees can demonstrate that they meet all of the Teachers' Standards at
the appropriate level.</p><p>The Standards set out the key elements of effective teaching
and the minimum expectations for the professional practice and conduct of teachers.
In order to be awarded Qualified Teacher Status, trainees must satisfy the Teachers’
Standards which include a requirement that they have a clear understanding of the
needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs (SEN) and are
able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them.
‘A Framework of core content for Initial Teacher Training’, published in July 2016
states that providers should ensure special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
training is integrated across the ITT programme. Additional information on the framework
