Getting provision right for Children, Young People & Families.

Friday 28th June 2024

Transforming SEND & Alternative Provision: getting provision right for Children, Young People & Families, takes place on Friday 28th June, at the Etc Venues, Manchester, and is aimed at all staff responsible for, or involved with, supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in mainstream education.

A full day of interactive presentations, discussion, learning and more will be led by professionals sharing expertise and progress on plans to change the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision system in England, providing you with a valuable head start and tools to help you develop your strategy.
