Facilitator Bio - Chris Carter

Facilitates: NPQSEN

I have worked in special schools for 25 years in a range of roles from TA and Teacher to SENCO, and I have been a Deputy Head Teacher for over 10 years. I have a range of interests in SEN generally, but particular specialisms are autism, behaviour, safeguarding and mental health. I am passionate about ensuring high quality, inclusive education for pupils with complex needs and improving outcomes for young people who face additional challenges.

I enjoy facilitating the NPQSEN and supporting the development of impactful school leaders who are equally passionate about SEN. I find the collaborative nature of the programme and the opportunity for us all to learn from each other particularly rewarding, and I enjoy hearing about the diverse variety of experiences from our colleagues from a broad range of backgrounds and settings.
