SEND Reform: Strengthening SEMH and inclusion in your school

A free 30-minute session focused on what SEND reform means for social, emotional and mental health (SEMH), and how to respond in practical, manageable ways.

SEND reform is set to place a much stronger emphasis on early intervention, belonging, as well as consistent, whole-school inclusive practice.

Many children are struggling with anxiety, distress or dysregulation, finding it difficult to engage in learning and lacking a sense of belonging in school. Statistics show a stark picture of rising numbers at risk of absence, exclusion or withdrawal.

This session is particularly relevant for Heads, SENCOs, pastoral, wellbeing and inclusion leads with a focus on the role of SEMH within SEND reform and those looking to identify realistic, practical next steps for their setting.

Hamish & Milo supports schools to strengthen SEMH provision as part of a wider inclusive approach.

In this 30-minute supprotive session, we will explore:

  • Why SEMH and SEL is central to SEND reform and inclusion

  • What early intervention looks like in practice

  • How to move beyond reactive support to consistent, relational approaches

  • The role of trusted adults, relationships and regulation in supporting children

  • What effective SEMH provision looks like day-to-day

  • How ISPs may support earlier, more flexible SEMH support

  • Practical ways to strengthen SEMH provision without increasing staff overwhelm
