Children with EHCPs have their provision legally protected, but 59 per cent of Sendcos also said that they felt there simply wasn&#8217;t enough time to make sure children were getting their entitlement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<header>A 1,903 Sendcos took part in research carried out by teaching union NEU,\u00a0Bath Spa University and special needs charity Nasen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article__header-first\">\n<p>Mainstreams schools must by law have a Sendco coordinating Send provision for pupils, but 5 per cent responding to the survey said they had no officially allocated time to do this and 78 per cent were &#8216;routinely&#8217; pulled away to deal with other jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Bath Spa University is today calling for Sendcos&#8217; time to be legally protected to make sure they have enough time to support pupils with Send. This corresponded with 95 per cent of survey responses showing Sendcos felt this was something that would enable them to do their job properly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"article__content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"article__content js-article__content\">\n<div class=\"text-formatted\">\n<p>Senior Lecturer in Education: SEN at Bath Spa University, Dr Helen Curran said: \u201c\u2018The National SENCO Workload Survey has demonstrated how, in 2018, SENCOs are managing this challenging, yet rewarding, role. However, the survey has also illustrated how a lack of time to execute the role is not only affecting SENCOs, both professionally and personally, but is also impacting on children with SEND. SENCOs are seeking ways in which they can meet the demands of the role, often at a personal cost. Yet, this does not present a sustainable option for SENCOs or children alike. That this why, through the National SENCO Workload Survey, we are seeking protected time for the SENCO role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The university is also making recommendations to the Department of Education (DfE) including minimum hours per week allocated and non-contact timetable.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant General Secretary, National Education Union, Nansi Ellis said:\u00a0\u201cGovernment funding cuts are having a devastating effect as schools face the difficult decision of whether to make savings through redundancies or provide appropriate support for children with SEND. It is a choice they should not have to be making. SENCOs in the survey said they hate not being able to offer all the support they believe students need because of time pressures and funding constraints. It\u2019s time for the Government to listen to the SEND experts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More from Chopsy Baby<\/strong><br \/>\nSubscribe\u00a0on YouTube:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/chopsybaby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/chopsybaby\/<\/a><br \/>\nFollow\u00a0us on Twitter\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chopsy_baby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chopsy_baby<\/a><br \/>\nLike\u00a0us on Facebook at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chopsybristol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chopsybristol<\/a><br \/>\nFollow\u00a0us on Instagram\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chopsybristol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chopsybristol<\/a><br \/>\nGo Home\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chopsybaby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.chopsybaby.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special educational needs and disability coordinators (Sendcos) not have time to properly support children with &#8216;less severe&#8217;
