Welcome to the SEND gateway
Welcome to the SEND gateway, the home of Whole School SEND - hosted by nasen.
The SEND gateway is an online portal offering education professionals free, easy access to high quality information, resources and training for meeting the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
The home of Whole School SEND
The Whole School SEND Consortium brings together schools, organisations and individuals who are committed to ensuring that every child and young person with SEND can achieve their potential at school.
