Special Educational Needs

The latest version of the Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Social Media Library can be found on this page. This is not a list of 'dangerous', 'bad' or apps to avoid' but contains details of apps and websites that have been encountered within exploitation investigations or through research that have been used by victims and offenders. This is a continuously changing market and is not an exhaustive list.

This toolkit is designed to support professionals from a variety of phases and settings who work with SEND pupils.

High quality teaching: ‘Quality First Teaching’. QFT originates in the then DCSF’s guide to personalised learning published in 2008 which summarises its key characteristics as: Highly focused lesson design with sharp objectives, High demands of pupil involvement and engagement with their learning, High levels of interaction for all pupils, Appropriate use of teacher questioning, modelling and explaining, An emphasis on learning through dialogue, with regular opportunities for pupils to talk both individually and in groups, and An expectation that pupils will accept responsibility for their own learning and work independently.
Regular use of encouragement and authentic praise to engage and motivate pupils.
