SEND Futures: Our vision and priorities for 2020
Following consultation and the SEND Futures conference, we have set out our vision and priorities for 2020.
SEND Futures Conference
SEND Futures took place on Tuesday 3 July 2018 at The Stoop in Twickenham. Over 300 people from over 120 organisations and parents and carers attended. The aims of the day were to:
- Celebrate inclusion and diversity in our communities
- Consider progress made on implementing the SEND reforms
- Reflect on and learn from examples of best practice
- Continue the process of shaping and implementing changes
Throughout the day delegates were invited to respond to a series of questions and a feedback form about the full event was given out.
There was a "Learning Wall" of free useful resources.
