The Cross-Cultural Issues in SEND module will help you to develop your knowledge and understanding of cultural and community influence on pupils, families and their ensuing relationship with your educational setting. You will have the opportunity to focus on the issues of most relevance to your setting, while also increasing your knowledge of theoretical perspectives on multiculturalism, identity, and community.
The range of cultures and communities that are relevant will vary according to the context of your setting but could include those groups related to ethnicity, religion, sexuality, socio-economic or political as well as alternative or online communities.
The module will equip you with knowledge relevant to the variety of cultures and different communities in your setting, an understanding of the provisions and community resources available in your practice, as well as establishing a plan for leading your setting towards a cohesive approach to multiculturalism and community settings.
This module is one of the core / recommended modules on our Pastoral pathway, but when combined with other modules can also be completed as part of a different pathway on our SEND and Inclusion Programme or our Inclusive Educational Leadership Programme.
