The TTRB has recently launched a new special educational needs (SEN) portal to provide an authoritative source of information on SEN issues and a forum for teacher trainers, mentors and coaches to keep up-to-date and exchange information and ideas. The site aims to support the development of effective practice relating to pupils and young people experiencing barriers to learning and raise the ability of future teachers in teaching and understanding SEN.

The site has a range of resources, including reviews of Teachers TV programmes relating to SEN. It even provides access to the 1978 Warnock report as a searchable online resource for the first time.
