See It. Support It. Teach It.

SEND training is mandatory in the NHS.
In schools it isn't. This is the programme that closes the gap.

A three-module, INSET-ready programme built around the EEF Five-a-Day and Positive Behaviour Support — giving every teacher practical tools to identify, support, and teach pupils with SEND from their very next lesson. Designed for schools and MATs spending the DfE's £200m SEND training package and Local Authorities deploying the £1.8bn Experts at Hand fund.

Why Now

A statutory gap, a £200m programme, and a 2-year diagnosis wait.

The legal, financial and clinical context every Headteacher, MAT CEO and SENDCo is working in this academic year.

The statutory gap. Under the Health & Care Act 2022, autism and learning-disability training is mandatory for every member of NHS and adult social care staff. In schools — where most neurodivergent children spend most of their week — that same training is non-statutory. Almost 25% of mainstream school staff have received no neurodiversity training at all, and over 60% of teachers report feeling unprepared to support SEND after their initial training.

The diagnosis bottleneck. NHS waiting lists for ADHD and autism assessments routinely exceed two years. During that wait, children sit in mainstream classrooms with unmet needs — and at significantly elevated risk of isolation, internal exclusion and permanent exclusion. Schools cannot afford to wait for a diagnosis to act.

The funding window. The DfE has launched a £200m SEND teacher-training programme and an £1.8bn "Experts at Hand" fund explicitly designed to tilt provision toward early mainstream support. Schools, MATs and LAs have budget allocated to this — and the procurement window is now.

The Ofsted lens. The new inspection framework asks every school to evidence that staff are equipped to identify and meet SEND in the mainstream classroom. A whole-staff, INSET-ready, CPD-accredited training record is the cleanest answer.

What this means for you

For SENDCos: a turnkey programme you can deliver yourself — no external trainer, no behaviour-policy overhaul.

For MAT leaders: a single licence covering every school, with a compliance dashboard that evidences training completion for Ofsted.

For Local Authorities: an Experts-at-Hand-eligible mainstream provision that reduces pressure on EHCP demand.

The Challenge

The gap between the EHCP and the classroom is wider than ever.

Schools invest significant time and money in SEN training. Staff learn about diagnoses — autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia. They complete e-learning modules. They attend INSET sessions. And then they walk into Monday morning, face thirty pupils, and wonder what, practically speaking, they are supposed to do differently.

The problem is not a lack of knowledge about SEN. The problem is a shortage of practical skill. Teachers and TAs understand what SEND is. What they lack is a clear method for seeing it play out in their classroom, responding to it in real time, and adapting their teaching without dismantling everything that already works.

Paperwork has become the proxy for provision. EHCPs grow longer. Support plans multiply. Yet the daily experience of many pupils with SEND — the one that determines whether they learn or not — remains unchanged. See It. Support It. Teach It. is designed to close that gap.

What schools tell us

"We've had lots of SEND training but staff still don't know what to do when a pupil is struggling in front of them."

"Our TAs are brilliant but they've never been taught how to identify a need before it becomes a behaviour incident."

"I know my pupils have EHCPs. What I need to know is what to do in period three on a Tuesday when the lesson isn't landing."

The Programme

Three modules. Immediate impact.

Each module builds on the last — from identification through adjustment to embedded teaching practice. All content is grounded in classroom reality, not theory.

About the Creator

Stephen Mallett

Stephen Mallett spent 25 years working in and leading UK schools — as a teacher, SENCo and Headteacher. He has overseen SEND provision in challenging contexts, managed complex EHCPs, and supported hundreds of pupils whose needs went unmet not for lack of care, but for lack of practical knowledge in the adults around them.

He is the Founder of SEND Navigate, which bridges the gap between SEN policy and everyday classroom practice. He is also the Author of Parent Shield — a guide for families navigating the SEND system. See It. Support It. Teach It. distils everything he has learned about what actually changes outcomes for pupils: the skill of the adult in the room.

Parent Shield

A parent’s guide to winning in the SEND system — written from inside it.

Parent Shield by Stephen Mallett — book cover

Most parents go into the SEND system unprepared — not for lack of trying, but because the system uses a language nobody explains to you, and the decisions feel made before you sit down.

Parent Shield is the book that closes that gap. Written from inside the system by a former Headteacher and SENCo, it gives parents the language, the process map and the practical tactics to push back where it matters — without becoming a legal expert.

The SEND Navigate advisory packages are the natural next step when families need direct, case-specific help applying what the book lays out.

Not Refusing. Unable.

The UK parent’s manual for school distress, EBSA, and the way through.

When a child stops going to school, the system calls it “refusal”. But most of these children are not refusing — they are unable. The difference matters enormously, and most parents are left to figure it out alone.

Written by a former Headteacher and Head of Special Needs with 25 years inside the system, this book explains what is actually happening, what the law says, and what parents can do — step by step, without jargon.

If your child is struggling with school attendance, school distress, or Emotionally Based School Avoidance, this is the book you need first.

Not Refusing. Unable. by Stephen Mallett
★ Case Result — June 2026

The LA wanted a state school. We won a specialist placement.

Our first tribunal win. A family came to SEND Navigate when they felt they had nowhere left to turn — and we fought their case all the way to the tribunal.

“
This would not have been possible without Stephen’s help. He took over our case when we thought we had nowhere to turn. Every time the LA tried to manoeuvre us into sending our son to the state school, he fought them back and ensured that our rights were upheld. He represented us at the tribunal and stood firm against the legal representation of the LA — and now our son has a place at the school we wanted him to have. This would not have happened without his services.
