SENCO Hub: The Tools for the Task

Six challenges faced by every Senco – and how Earwig can help

Whether you manage the SEN for a 2000 pupil mainstream school or a 3-pupil unit, there are universal challenges Senco’s face. Earwig provides the tools to meet them – efficiently and intelligently, protecting your weekends and saving your sanity.

Challenge 1

The Earwig Solution: Instant Record Creation & Timelines
Senco’s rarely have time for traditional record-keeping. The Earwig app makes evidence capture quick and effortless – snap a photo, take a video, upload a document, and add commentary (typed or dictated) in seconds.

There’s no limit to how much you can upload, and everything is stored safely in the cloud.
