Value range: £600,000 - £1,500,000 Following the SEND CPD Market Engagement in March 2026, the Department launches this first deliverable as part of this larger potential requirement from the Schools White Paper announcement: A package of high-quality materials aimed at schools and further education settings to support the delivery of in-house training to all staff on SEND and inclusion. We require the package content to be co-designed with DfE and sector experts and for the materials to be tested with key audiences. The content should center around inclusive, universal provision in mainstream primary and secondary schools, and further education settings. Content will need to be compatible to be hosted on a Government platform such as GOV.UK. Package of materials to support in-house SEND CPD The first requirement is to design a set of online and downloadable resources that can be used by staff responsible for delivering in-house training to teachers and support staff across primary schools, secondary schools and further education settings. Users should be able to easily incorporate the materials into existing school and college templates for delivery. Content may include but is not limited to videos, guidance and explainers that support staff in: - Designing and delivering effective in-house CPD (for example planning templates, advice on evaluation, support in designing follow-up activities) - Understanding the Department’s vision for SEND reform -Bringing staff together to create a shared vision and understanding of local context. - Developing understanding of high-quality teaching practice that supports all learners, especially those with SEND. Curriculum in Practice Materials The second requirement is to design a suite of resources for use by individual teachers including subject and phase leaders to support curriculum adaptation for all children and young people, including those with SEND. This content will build on the package of materials outlined above and will help staff implement and embed their learning in practice. The suite of resources may include, but is not limited to, case studies, prompts, and explainers. In particular we welcome materials that include subject‑specific or phase-specific content/considerations, or resources that support curriculum and subject teams to embed learning within their own curriculum contexts.
