Guest Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 How many of you have an ENCO in your settings? (Equalities Named Coordinator). In my last authority this was highly recommended, and training was being rolled out. Is it a requirement or just a recommendation? If anyone has one in their setting, what does their role consist of? It could be quite an exciting one, but seems a bit airy fairy at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Coo!! I have a name!! That's part of my remit in our nursery - it's sort of all about promoting and ensuring Inclusivity, so I work closely with Senco. Also multicultural and gender-related aspects, and ensuring staff understand all the ramifications of these ideas. Don't go asking for a job description, though!!!!! (suppose that's my next job!!)

Rea Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I was the named Equality Co-ordinator but it was only named on a couple of policies and on the notice board. I had pretty clued up staff so really I didnt need to do anything because they were good at their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 One of my staff was told by her tutor (distance learning DPP) that we should have an ENCO and also a SENDA. You've answered the one question for me but what is a SENDA? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think having a named ENCO is pretty much a requirement now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Being picky here but... if you have a named ENCo then they're named twice... like having a SENco co-ordinator!! I am our Equalities Named Co-Ordinator too and went to my level 2 training last week funnily enough! As someone else said I don't do much as my staff are good but I am passionate about the area so it is a good role for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreamay Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 went to the launch of 'keeping chilren safe' last week you will get a pack like the birth to 3 one with all new numbers in for contacts for child protection! And our child preotection officer(me) is now called a s.o.c.c.o. cant remember what it stands for and packs at work. This is in cheshire dont know if all loacal surestarts are doing this.They are now called Children and Families by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Didn't know I had so many letters in my job title but it appears I am SENCO & ENCO among other things (SENDA is the Special Educational Needs & Disability Act) not sure what SOCCO is though?

Gezabel Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 MM! I am not sure about SOCCO either I know the 'Area Child Protection Committee' had a name change and is now 'local safeguarding children board' so I am guessing and wondering if SOCCO could be 'Safeguarding of Children Co-ordinator' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Does anyone else get the feeling that they have changed it so that they could make up some new acronyms for these jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 LOL@Socco as it makes me think of Silent Witness etc where the Scene of Crime Officer is a SoCo!! I think it's safety or safeguarding of children co-ordinator too. Why do they change them? I suppose SENco is easier use than Equal Opportunities Co-ordinator or Child Protection Officer etc so I suppose it will make them less of a mouthful but still!
