About the event:

As the Children and Families Bill passes through Parliament, learning from the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Pathfinders continues to influence proposals and service delivery for disabled children.

Our Improving Outcomes for Disabled Children and their Families Conference is an opportunity to hear from leading policy experts, pathfinder areas and practitioners on how best to meet the requirements of the Bill.

This event will explore ways to deliver a more streamlined assessment process, preparing Education Health and Care Plans, provision of personal budgets and publishing a local offer of services.
