Melsampson66 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hello, I am the Nursery Manager but my Deputy is taking on the SENDcO role. Do we both need to have the training? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I would say that it is good practice for two people to be SENCO trained if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I would say you as manager need to keep up to date with Senco stuff, your Senco needs support, and between you you can make good decisions. If she were to leave, you will understand what is happening and why and will be able to carry on the role until you find a replacement, it may be that you can only find a Deputy, but another member of staff will take on As manager I feel, not in a controlling way, but that I need to be as able as my staff to cover all aspects of the job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie_Catmull Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 So is this SENDcO term official now? not heard many people using it yet, will take a while to get used to. Does anyone know when it will be reflected in the statutory framework? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have a SENDCo and as manager, I am the deputy SENDCo. The term SENDCo is correct but I think most people just pronounce it the same as SENCo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's been SENDCo for quite a long time, pre-my retirement in 2015 certainly, I was hearing it back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 just to add to the confusion you can also be a SENDICO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
