The Future of SEND: Policy, Practice, and Challenges
Rebecca will set the scene for the conference by describing the SEND reforms in the White Paper, identifying the implications for classroom practice, and setting out the challenges that lie ahead.

Inclusive Education: Inclusivity for Staff
Vic will describe how the SEND reforms will impact on inclusivity and argue that you can't have inclusivity for pupils without ensuring inclusivity for staff. His keynote will endorse Teach Well Toolkit's underlying principle that we can't take care of pupils if we don't first look after our staff.
