Who does the training?
Our trainer is Mrs Eirwen Grenfell-Essam. She has been a qualified teacher for 34 years. She has 12 years
experience as a SENCO in a school with high levels of SEN. She is the lead advocate for Network 81 and regularly supports parents/carers
at SENDIST / Exclusion tribunals. Perhaps as important is that she is a parent of two daughters (now adults) with SEN.

The courses aim to give individuals a solid understanding of the laws covering how SEN is dealt with within the education system.
Therefore individuals get a better concept of how they can help children gain the most from the system. With
this training individuals should also be able to advise others on how to get the best out of the system for their child. We expect that some
individuals will go on to support parents who have disputes with a school and if necessary advise and advocate for parents at SENDIST.
This may be done as Befrienders for Network 81.
We are currently investigating Open College Networks accreditation. All our courses will carry credits which can be exchanged for Certificates and Diplomas.
