What is The SENDcast?
The SENDcast is the #1 podcast and online CPD training hub dedicated to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Created by the B Squared Team with years of experience working with schools, it serves as a comprehensive resource for teachers, parents, and professionals supporting children and young people with SEND. The award-winning podcast releases new episodes every Thursday, featuring host Dale Pickles and different guests sharing their passion and expertise in SEND topics. With over 400,000 downloads and more than 250 episodes, The SENDcast has established itself as a trusted source for insights, best practices, policy changes, and practical strategies to improve SEND knowledge.
SENDcast Sessions offer a smarter way for schools to deliver SEND training through over 150 expert-led, one-hour online sessions covering a wide range of SEND topics. These high-quality sessions are delivered in High Definition (1080p) video with crystal-clear audio by curated experts in the field. The platform provides highly accessible content with automatic transcription and optional subtitles for all videos. Schools can build a lasting, fully searchable CPD library that includes videos, slides, handouts, and additional resources, making it a comprehensive solution for SEND professional development. The SENDcast has been recognized for its excellence, winning the Bett Awards 2025 Resource for SEND award and the 2024 British Podcast Awards.
Purchasing an annual subscription provides schools with unlimited access to over 150 SENDcast Sessions for the entire school for just £175—a significant value compared to the £1,500+ cost if purchased individually at £10 per session. Schools can integrate these sessions into their existing CPD programs, allowing staff to access training anytime, creating a flexible approach to professional development. The platform enables schools to build a permanent, growing library of SEND resources that staff can reference whenever needed, ensuring consistent training across the organisation. This implementation model allows schools to provide in-depth, expert-led SEND training without the logistical challenges and expenses of traditional in-person training, while ensuring all staff members have equal access to high-quality professional development resources that remain available for years to come.
