Evaluation of the Centres for Excellence in SEND

The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) have commissioned three distinct Centres for Excellence in SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) on the themes of community, curriculum and people. The ETF are seeking a tenderer to evaluate the impact of these Centres for Excellence. The aim of the evaluation is to identify 1). the impact on the leaders who engage with the leadership offer and 2). the impact on managers and practitioners who engage with the communities of practice, to identify if engagement with the Centres for Excellence in SEND has resulted in a change in how they approach support for learners with both identified and unidentified special educational needs in their organisation.
