You don’t know them yet — but you’re already expected to support them. Starting with a new pupil with SEND can feel daunting, particularly when you have limited information about their communication, regulation, sensory needs, interests and ways of learning. This practical SEND guide is designed for ECTs, trainee teachers, new class teachers, teaching assistants and Early Years practitioners who want to create an inclusive start without making assumptions about a child they have not yet got to know. Rather than giving you a list of strategies to apply to every child, this resource helps you think about what to prepare, what to ask, what to notice and what to adapt. Inside you’ll find practical prompts for: gathering useful information before the child arrives; working with families, previous settings and SENDCos; preparing an accessible and predictable environment; considering communication, sensory, physical and regulation needs; building safety, belonging and relationships before increasing demands; noticing patterns in a child’s communication and participation; questioning assumptions such as “they won’t”, “nothing works” or “they can’t”; responding thoughtfully when a child moves away, does not participate or becomes distressed; adapting your approach as you learn more about the individual child; and reviewing what you have learned during the first days and weeks. The guide is built around a simple principle: You don’t need to know everything about a child before they arrive. You need to know what to look for, what to ask and how to avoid making assumptions. This resource complements a school’s existing SEND processes and professional advice. It does not replace individual plans, reasonable adjustments, safeguarding procedures or specialist recommendations. How I use this resource Use it before a new pupil arrives, during transition planning, or as a practical reflection tool during their first few weeks. It can also support conversations between teachers, TAs, SENDCos, families and previous settings.
