Audit tool: identify strengths and areas for improvement

Download and use our tool to give you an insight into how well teachers consider pupils with SEND in their lesson plans. 

You can either use the same template for a group of teachers (for example in a year group, subject or department) or you can use it to dig a little deeper into individual teachers' plans. 

Gather evidence for this during your learning walks (download our template for observing SEND provision in this article) and during your general lesson observations. 

You can then compare the results to identify key priorities, which can help when planning training.
