SENDassistant isn't designed to replace SENCO expertise. It's designed to give SENCOs more time to use it. Less searching. Chasing. Checking. More time understanding learners, reviewing evidence and supporting provision.
**Protect the work that needs you.** #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

**Practical tip: Ask “Does this actually need me?”**

Understanding needs? Expertise.

Professional judgement? Expertise.

Searching emails? Process.

**Protect your expertise for the work that needs it.**

Staff wellbeing isn't only about helping people manage pressure- we need to ask where pressure starts. Which parts of your AA process need SENCO expertise — and which are unnecessary? That's why this DfE guidance on workload and wellbeing is worth a revisit. zurl.co/7L9D0 #SENCO #AccessArrangements

Our January 2027 AAA course will help you develop the knowledge, practical skills and professional confidence to assess learners and support access to reasonable adjustments in exams.

There's a part of Access Arrangements workload that doesn't appear on a task list. The responsibility. The deadlines. The worry that something has been missed. Better systems don't just protect the process. They help protect the person managing it. #SEND #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

You don't need a better memory - you need better visibility. See what's complete, what's outstanding and what needs your attention next.
Book a SEND Assistant demo and see how much clearer your Access Arrangements process could be - zurl.co/sZE75 . #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

“Where are we with this student?” The answer shouldn't require 3 spreadsheets and a search through your inbox. SENDassistant keeps progress visible so you can see what's complete, what's outstanding and what still needs to happen. The answer should take seconds. #SENCO #AccessArrangements

**Practical tip: Try a 15-minute weekly AA check-in.** For every learner ask:
✓ What's complete? ○ What's outstanding → What's the next action? Don't just track where someone is in the process. **Know what needs to happen next.**. #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

This Tes article highlights a reality: SENCO workload is becoming increasingly difficult to contain within the working day. zurl.co/TifIR
Not all SENCO workload is visible, but there's also the mental list running alongside it. Good systems help with that. #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

Feedback. Assessments. Evidence. Forms. How much of your Access Arrangements process are you carrying around in your head? A good system shouldn't rely on one person remembering what's done, what's missing and what happens next. **It should show you.** #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

Every reminder takes a few minutes. Multiply that across dozens of students and teachers and those minutes become hours. Spend less time chasing. Spend more time supporting. Book a SEND Assistant demo and see the difference for yourself - zurl.co/6dsQb . #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

You've asked eight teachers for feedback. Five responded. Three haven't. Do you know which three — or do you need to search through emails to find out? SENDassistant keeps progress visible. Know what's outstanding. Don't search for what's outstanding. #SEND #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

Practical tip: Make feedback easy to give. Instead of “Send me information about this student”, ask: → What difficulty do you see? → What support is used? → How often? → What difference does it make? Clear questions = less back-and-forth and better evidence. #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

It's often not one big task creating the workload. It's dozens of small ones. Send. Check. Remind. Follow up. Update. Repeat. For Access Arrangements, those minutes quickly add up. Sometimes reducing workload means removing the unnecessary work. #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

How much of your Access Arrangements workload is actually chasing? Teacher feedback. Evidence. Responses. Collaboration matters, but it shouldn't depend on one person keeping everyone moving. Your time is better spent using the information than chasing it. #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

Imagine needing your Access Arrangements evidence — and not having to start looking for it. Evidence shouldn't be something you chase. It should be something you've already built. Book a SENDassistant demo and see how it can work for you - zurl.co/b8PS1 #SENCO #AccessArrangements #SENDassistant

Email. Spreadsheet. Assessment. Teacher feedback. Notes. The evidence may already exist. The problem is where it lives. SENDassistant helps bring information together so you're building the learner's picture as you go — not searching for it later. #SENCO #AccessArrangements #EdTech #SENDassistant
