nasen Early Years SEND Case Study
2017
Guidance on completing the Case Study form
Send us a case study and you could receive a FREE one month’s Gold membership of Childcare.co.uk,
worth £24.99, AND a FREE book from Nursery World’s ‘Practical Pre-School Books’ range,
worth up to £20!
Anyone who works with children from 0-5 can provide us with a case study, to show how you or your
setting meets the needs of one or more children who have, or may have, special educational needs or
disabilities (SEND). You might work in a nursery, or as a childminder, or in a Foundation Stage class.
We are really keen to collect as many case studies as possible, so that we can share the great practice that
happens in many settings with other Early Years professionals. You may think that what you do is ‘nothing
special’ but actually, there will be lots of people who could benefit from hearing about how you and your
setting support children with SEND.
Please tell us about what you do in your setting – this could involve support for parents, or staff
development, the physical environment, resources that you have found useful, how staff interact with the
children, how you work with other agencies or anything else that has an impact on children with SEND.
We may use the case study in one of our new resources which are specifically aimed at the Early Years
sector; these will include webcasts, miniguides (small booklets full of information), and a set of materials
that will be used by settings in face-to-face training. These resources will sit on the nasen website. We will
not identify any individual or setting and will not use any of the names that you provide us with; we will
substitute real names with pseudonyms.
If you do not want to complete all of the boxes on the form, you don’t have to, but the more information
you are able to provide us with the more useful your case study will be to us.
Once you have completed the form, please email it to: [email protected]. If you prefer to print off and
complete a paper copy, please post it to:
Alex Grady, nasen House, 4/5 Amber Business Village, Amber Close, Amington, Tamworth B77 4RP
We will then consider how we may be able to use it in our new resources.
If you are one of the first 20 case studies, you will receive your FREE Childcare.co.uk month’s Gold
membership AND a FREE book from the ‘Practical Pre-School Books’ range as a ‘thank you’ from nasen,
Childcare.co.uk, and Nursery World, who are our partners in this project.
