Capita Conferences announce their Special Educational Needs event - 29th November, Newcastle

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, U.K. - Oct. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- This conference is crucially timed to provide in-depth insight into the practicalities of the reform to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision for children and young people. Our Special Educational Needs Conference presents a perfect opportunity to learn how the SEND agenda is developing as the sector prepares for the most radical change to policy in 30 years.

You will hear about the work and experiences of schools and local authorities at the forefront of this agenda and how they are embedding the reforms outlined in the Children and Young People Bill in practice.

Bringing together leading practitioners, this event will examine the delivery of SEND provision within a variety of educational settings and draws upon best practice examples from organisations supporting SEND pupils.

Key topics to be addressed include:
• Practical strategies to supporting SEND children and their families in educational settings
• The effective use of resources to improve outcomes for SEND pupils
• Tailoring curriculums to create an inclusive environment and raise attainment

Attend this event to better understand and address the practicalities of the changes ahead and learn how to deliver provision to achieve the best outcomes for children with SEND.
