We are excited to share with you, the details of a forthcoming virtual conference for Calderdale SENCOs. As you will be aware, we carried out a survey with you to see what your school needs are. This conference will be the start of work towards meeting these needs with more events to follow. We are delighted to have two keynote speakers joining us, Adam Boddison (CEO of NASEN) and Andre Imich (DFE)

Please register as soon as possible on Eventbrite, there are two places available for each school. You will be asked to register your choice of workshop – note that workshops will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
