This one day in-person conference will feature a lively mix of keynote speeches and workshops about policy and practice in the world of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. There will be news of the latest policy changes as a result of this year’s SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan, as well as practical sessions relevant to the whole range of students in our sector.

Throughout the conference the emphasis will be on discussion and debate – SEND is a diverse field and it is one of our strengths that we have such a rich variety of ideas. More than one in five college students has a special educational need or a disability, so all teachers are SEND teachers.
