Collaborative Support Groups for SEND topics

Throughout the year, there will be three meetings for a group of like-minded SEND practitioners to come together and thoroughly explore each area of interest.

Each group will be led by a facilitator who is actively addressing the issue in their own setting. The goal is to create a collaborative network of individuals interested in exploring the potential of these approaches within special settings or with SEND learners. If you are interested in collaborating, learning, and sharing ideas, please join the groups.

The outcomes of these meetings will be published in 2026.
