INVEST
The INVEST approach has been created by Nik Hobson (SENCO, Broadlands School) to support children and young people, particularly those who have special educational needs. It’s a great acronym to highlight key strategies and approaches to promote effective learning, engagement and interactions. Nik is happy for SENCOs to use this in their schools. Please acknowledge Nik and Broadlands staff when sharing it.
