If a child has what is a sen child, their education should be tailored to suit their specific needs. This may involve a range of interventions that are added to the high-quality whole-class teaching that their school already delivers. These inventions may help a child to fulfil their potential without being singled out for attention or taken out of class for sessions (these outcomes could be factored into lesson time).

A clear analysis of the student’s needs must take place. This should involve the student’s class or subject teachers and their SENCO along with any relevant outside professionals. Where parents are involved in a child’s statutory assessment, it is good practice to ask for their views as well.

Building Strong Partnerships: Collaboration Between Parents and Educators for SEN Students

Traditionally, many children who have SEN are classified as disabled, but this is changing. There is now a push to avoid this term because it carries a stigma and can create barriers in a student’s life. It is preferable to use the phrase ‘learning difference’ as this is more accurate, especially when considering conditions like dyslexia.

Some learners’ SEN may be identified by their need for an additional SEN support package, or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). In this instance, the school is required to begin to put some strategies into place, in consultation with the SENCO, even before a formal diagnosis has been made. These strategies should be reflected in the school’s ethos, policies and practices. They should also be underpinned by a positive approach to behaviour.

Kennels must be hygienic and clean, this means the flooring needs to be easy to keep clean, it also has to have some level of grip to prevent dogs from falling over. In addition to this the floor needs to be suitable for heavy use as most kennels will see a lot of foot movements each day, the floor surface must also be anti-slip so dogs do not slip and injury themselves and it has to have some form of durability to protect floors from damage.

When it comes to kennel flooring options there are many different choices available to dog owners. From concrete flooring to kennel matting rolls, each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

For example, a concrete kennel floor is affordable, durable, and provides good traction for dogs to prevent them from slipping or falling. However, it can be hard on dogs’ joints and if the floor is not sanded down it can be difficult to clean and it can trap moisture which leads to the growth of harmful bacteria.

Choosing the Right Kennel Flooring: Factors to Consider

Another popular option is a polyurea floor coating which is very quick to apply and dries quickly, but this can be hard on dogs’ joints and unless it is sanded down after application it can also become scratchy.

If you are looking for a kennel floor that is both easy to install and easy to clean, look no further than the rubber kennel mats. These are easily relocatable and have an interlocking mechanism which allows them to be made into any size or shape required. They are water-resistant and can be glued down or loose laid, making them a convenient and affordable choice for most dog kennels.
