About our Event:

This is a Webinar using Microsoft Teams.

We will be considering the Equality Act 2010 and other key legislation and guidance, and also consider how this legislation impacts education, employment and other areas of life. The legal impacts are relevant for children, teenagers and adults alike.

This event is an introduction to the legislation and processes used to support individuals with Neurodevelopmental Conditions in education settings.

It is an ideal event for ADHDers (Teen & Adult), parents/guardians, family, teachers & LSAs, and those training for employment roles involving children.

• Our speaker is inspirational, motivational, and humorous, with a unique understanding and extensive personal experience of ADHD and coexisting conditions;
• Our events are always conducted in small groups, have a personal touch and are very informal;
• It is ideal for those who have anxieties over meeting new people or being amongst crowds.

Areas Covered:

• SEND Code of Practice, Jan 2015
• Equality Act 2010
• Human Rights Act
• Reasonable Adjustments
• One Plans & EHC Plans
• Suspensions & Permanent Exclusions
• Employment Disciplinary
