Description

Following the Government’s recently announced SEND reforms and Schools White Paper, this one day online conference provides a timely and comprehensive deep dive into the future of SEND provision across education. Explore what the shift towards earlier intervention, strengthened mainstream inclusion, and new Individual Support Plans (ISPs) means in practice, alongside the changing role of EHCPs reserved for children with the most complex needs within a reformed national framework.

Navigate emerging national inclusion standards, new expectations for schools to meet a wider range of needs without escalation to statutory plans, and the workforce development priorities required to deliver specialist SEND support in every setting. This conference will empower you to implement inclusive teaching practices, foster a school-wide culture of belonging, and leverage assistive technology and AI to support every learner.

Join us to examine the implications of targeted and specialist provision pathways, strategic financial planning under the new funding model, and strengthen multi-agency collaboration, and learn how genuine co-production with parents and carers can drive better outcomes for all children.

Designed for schools, trusts and local authorities, this event will support leaders and practitioners to understand and respond confidently to a rapidly evolving national framework. Secure your place today and join a community committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive future for every child.
