BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability & Inclusion (SENDI) and Early Childhood Studies at Lincoln Bishop University

The BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion (SENDI) & Early Childhood Studies joint programme strongly supports an understanding of the crucial 0-8 stage of child development through a focus on individual needs and the broader sociocultural context of young children and their families. This is particularly significant in the light of the current government agenda to reduce child inequalities; prioritising prevention and early intervention; and building and strengthening local and cross sector services.
