Session 1: Making history accessible

This webinar provides an overview of recent key developments in SEND, including statutory guidance and regulations from Ofsted’s latest Education Inspection Framework and the SEND improvement plan. Drawing on SEND toolkits, we reflect on how to embed inclusive practice. This is explored in the context of the history classroom as we draw upon the Historical Association’s secondary committee Making History Accessible resources to consider how to develop and support SEND students’ historical learning.

At the end of this session, participants are introduced to an optional small-scale action research project. This project will prompt reflection on a specific aspect of participants’ practice, which will be explored and reviewed through the webinar series.

This webinar is the first session in the webinar series Making history accessible which is running until May 2025.
