The Council for Disabled Children (CDC) is delivering a series of events in relation to the SEND Reform Government Consultation.
The Council for Disabled Children and the Department for Education are partnering to host a series of online and in-person engagement events as part of the SEND Reform: Putting Children and Young People First consultation.
These events are an important opportunity for anyone with an interest in the consultation to share their views on the proposals – including parents and carers, local authorities, schools, early years and further education settings, and social care and health representatives.
Each event will provide an overview of the consultation areas and the vision for reform, followed by breakout groups to discuss key themes – you can choose the groups that are of most interest to you. These breakout sessions will be:
- Working together to respond to needs early
- Parents as partners in the system
- Inclusive mainstream system
- Specialist support and Education, Health and Care Plans
- Support across the whole system and join up between organisations
- Accountability, redress and appeals
- Recording needs across all layers of support
Space at events is limited so that conversations can be meaningful and content will be the same at each event. Please only register for one of these events, so that as many people as possible can take part. If you are unable to secure a place, you can still access a range of information about the consultation through a series of five recorded information webinars.
