'This is the indispensable guide that every aspiring SENCO needs. Full of practical advice that anyone can follow, this should be essential reading before undertaking the NASENCO award. Every school needs a copy of this book.'

Colin Grimes, Year 3 and 4 Teacher and Education Blogger, @MrGPrimary

For the conscientious SENCO, this book is a must. A daily "dip in and outer" – filled with much guidance, knowledge and tips to ensure greater wellbeing not just for the SENCO but for all in the education system.

This book is an honest, informative and valuable insight into the SENCO role from a mainstream and alternative provision view. I love the checklists, case studies, recommended resources and, very importantly, the focus on wellbeing.

I read this book all the way through in one go – I couldn't put it down! It was like listening to a mentor giving advice and it's a great source of information, guidance and resources.

'This is a very well constructed and researched book that deserves a wide audience. Ward identifies various social media groups that support personal wellbeing and addresses issues that might negatively impact on the SENCO's role. She provides a well-crafted road map to enable teachers to work towards achieving “outstanding” results in this role.'
