All schools in England are required to have a SENCo. Although the DfE collects data relating to the demographics of this large population of teachers, this has not until now been analysed or published, meaning that much research relating to SENCos has had to proceed on the basis of estimates. A Freedom of Information request was made to the DfE, from which actual numbers could be established, with breakdowns by age, gender, ethnicity, position of responsibility and level of qualification. The data describe a professional who is most likely to be female, white and in the middle or towards to the end of their career, and often part-time. Most are on the class teacher pay scale rather than being on the leadership scale, with a minority holding a Master's level qualification. This article also evaluates several research studies in the field in the context of this analysis.

了解SENCo员工队伍：通过准确的国家数据集重新检查选定的研究

英格兰的所有学校都必须拥有SENCo。尽管DfE收集了与大量教师的人口统计有关的数据，但直到现在仍未对其进行分析或发布，这意味着与SENCos有关的许多研究都必须在估算的基础上进行。向DfE提出了信息自由的请求，可以从中确定实际数字，并按年龄，性别，种族，责任职位和资格水平进行分类。数据描述了一个职业女性，该女性最有可能是女性，白人，处于职业中期或职业生涯末期，通常是兼职。大多数是在班级教师薪级表上，而不是在领导层上，少数人拥有硕士学位的资格。
