The Importance of Additional Training for SEND Tutors: Spotlight on Targeted Provision’s New Training

In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, the role of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) tutors has never been more crucial. Whether working with young people who have Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) or Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), the need for specialised skills and knowledge is paramount. This is where additional training becomes essential. Targeted Provision’s new CPD Accredited Training Course for tutors working with young people exhibiting Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges is an invaluable resource that offers numerous benefits.

The Crucial Role of SEMH Specialists in Today's Educational Climate

The educational landscape has shifted, revealing a growing need for Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) support, intensified by COVID-19 and the cost of living crisis. In 2023, SEMH referrals at Targeted Provision rose by 93.6%. The pandemic increased loneliness, anxiety, and depression, making re-engagement challenging, especially for those with special educational needs (SEN). Financial stress from the cost of living crisis further impacts mental health. SEMH specialists provide essential support, helping students develop resilience and emotional regulation. Investing in SEMH is crucial for the well-being and success of young people.
