The Talks

Inclusive Education – Thinking differently and differences (Fran Cox)

With an increasingly complex and challenging education and SEND system, is now the time to think differently about how we can ensure that the majority of children can belong and thrive in our classrooms?

Join the discussion on the emerging direction of travel in terms of Inclusion policy and consider how some of these ideas can succeed. What are the challenges? What are the barriers? And how can we work together across the system to tackle these.

How to successfully set up an internal alternative provision (Matthew Bindon)

This presentation will focus on some the key considerations to take into account when planning to set up an internal AP in your school.
