Supporting Those Who Make a Difference: Giant Digital Partners with nasen
We're delighted to share that Giant Digital has been chosen to partner with nasen (the National Association for Special Educational Needs) on creating their new digital platform, a collaboration that will strengthen their vital work supporting SEND professionals across the UK.
Championing SEND Excellence
nasen has spent years building something special: a thriving community of teachers, therapists, support staff, and advocates who are passionate about helping children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities reach their full potential.
Through their comprehensive CPD programs, practical resources, and networking opportunities, nasen empowers professionals with the knowledge and confidence they need to make a real difference. Their current website has served as an important foundation for this work, connecting members with training opportunities and essential resources.
As their community grows and the needs of SEND professionals evolve, nasen recognised the opportunity to create something even more powerful - a digital home that truly reflects the expertise, dedication, and collaborative spirit of the SEND sector.
Building a Platform That Empowers
The new website will transform how SEND professionals engage with their continuing development and connect with their peers. This isn't just about upgrading technology, it's about creating experiences that make every member feel supported, valued, and equipped to excel in their crucial roles.
Whether someone is tracking their CPD progress, accessing member-exclusive research, registering for a webinar, or connecting with colleagues facing similar challenges, every interaction will be designed to feel intuitive, inclusive, and genuinely helpful.
What This Partnership Brings
For nasen, this collaboration means:
- A comprehensive platform that supports their mission to elevate SEND education
- Enhanced ways for members to engage with CPD opportunities and track their professional growth
- Improved tools for building connections within the SEND community
- Streamlined processes that make membership, donations, and event participation more accessible
- Seamless Salesforce integration to better understand and serve their community's needs
For Giant Digital, this represents:
- The chance to support professionals who are making a profound impact on young lives
- An opportunity to create a platform that genuinely enhances how people learn and grow
- The privilege of championing accessibility and inclusive design in everything we build
- Partnership with an organisation that shares our commitment to technology that serves a greater purpose
"We're thrilled to be working with nasen (National Association for Special Educational Needs) to design and build a new website that promotes the mission and vision of the charity as well as providing a central hub of resources and training materials to support SEND professionals. This is such an exciting opportunity for Giant and nasen to work together to build a useful and meaningful platform that makes a difference."
Gwilym Evans, Business Development Manager at Giant Digital
A Foundation for Growth
This partnership extends beyond a single project. We're committed to creating a platform that grows with nasen, adapts to the changing needs of SEND professionals, and continues to strengthen the community that surrounds inclusive education.
nasen's work ensures that children and young people with additional needs receive the support they deserve. That mission deserves a digital platform that's equally thoughtful and impactful.
Together, we're not just building a website - we're creating a space where SEND professionals can thrive, connect, and continue changing lives.
