Putting Children & Young People First: Rethinking What It Means to Thrive and Achieve

These events provide a focused in-person opportunity for mainstream and specialist colleagues (leaders and practitioners) across the UK to come together to network, collaborate and respond to the key issues facing the specialist sector.

Leading experts from the sector along with colleagues from the DfE and Ofsted will share illuminations, insights and provocations for roundtable discussions, whilst lightning talk inputs showcase some of the very best practice from across the sector.

Key Themes

As the complexity shift of learners with SEND continues in all schools, this event will bring the community together to reflect on practice, thinking and solutions as we consider how to respond and continue providing the very best provision, opportunities and outcomes for the young people and families we serve.

The DfE White Paper ‘Every child achieving and thriving’ laid out the biggest reforms to the education system that we have seen in a generation with SEND and Inclusion at the very heart of all proposed policy changes.

Our national conference features high level insights into national strategy and policy whilst providing the space to collaborate, share and explore what the reforms and any shift in policy mean for our school communities.

School, system and Trust leaders, Policy makers, practitioners and experts by experience will shape, guide and lead conversations and share provocations across the day.
