Why is this conference relevant?

A “fragmented” system has been left in the wake of the special educational needs and disability (SEND) reforms*

The changes to the system has left a greater variation in the quality of help available, creating specific local challenges to you. This, along with the system becoming increasingly difficult to navigate, means it’s vital you’re able to work with all agencies and professionals effectively.

With this difficult and varied system:

• Are you confident you’re working effectively with agencies, families and your students to ensure the best outcomes?
• Are you managing your budget efficiently, accessing the funding you’re entitled to and making the most out of your funding?
• Do you know what to do if you’re not getting the support you need from your local area?

Attend this event to hear fresh strategies and best practice to enable you to overcome your local barriers and work effectively with all agencies and professionals to support improved outcomes for children and young people.
