Autism Awareness Week: We can help you to support children with autism
To support The National Autistic Society’s biggest fundraiser of the year, EduCare is offering free SEND Awareness training during Autism Awareness Week.
Our Autism Awareness training course has been written in partnership with SEND specialists, Connect. The course explains that pupils with autism benefit from structured learning activities that have clear objectives with each session divided into short, focused tasks.
SEND Awareness training package
Our course on autism is included in a small package of SEND courses that is available to purchase as an addition to EduCare for Education® - our complete safeguarding and duty of care e-learning service for the education sector. Other courses in the package include Dyslexia Awareness and ADHD Awareness.
As part of our activity to support Autism Awareness Week, we are offering the SEND package for free when new customers sign up to the EduCare for Education® service during Autism Awareness Week, 26 March to 2 April 2018.
