Senco - Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator
Rebecca Thomas, the Family Playcentre's SENCO practitioner, aims to create an
inclusive environment where all the children can learn and play, working closely
with parents/carers and external agencies.
This helps to identify early the children who need additional help, and to
arrange for additional support as required.
