The Small Setting SEND Toolkit
The SEND Companion for Small Settings
81 Pages | Hardback | Wire Bound | Tabbed Sections - Physical Copy Only
For the SENCo who didn’t plan to be one.
Created specifically for childminders, small settings and home-based provision, this 81-page SEND Toolkit is your practical, real-world companion to navigating special educational needs with confidence.
This is not theory-heavy overwhelm. This is grounded, small-setting reality.
Inside you’ll find clear, structured guidance that walks you through:
• How to notice patterns early without jumping to labels
• Understanding behaviour through a regulation-focused lens
• Environmental reflection tools that actually work in home settings
• Strength-spotting and functional observation guidance
• Printable mapping sheets and reflection tools
• Partnership guidance for working with families
• Escalation and safeguarding clarity
• Updated documentation reflecting the latest White Paper changes (Feb 2026)
Every section is tabbed for ease. Every page is written with small settings in mind. Every tool is designed to reduce overwhelm, not add to it.
This toolkit supports you to:
Notice. Support. Partner. Escalate appropriately. Protect.
It bridges the gap between instinct and professional documentation, helping you feel confident, prepared and informed.
Why Physical Only?
This is designed to sit on your desk. To be tabbed, highlighted, returned to. To become your SEND working companion, not another forgotten download.
