SEND Review - Legal Implications

In this session, Steve Broach will go through the proposed legal changes in the SEND Green Paper, looking at potential positives and negatives from the perspective of children, young people and families. Issues to be covered include potential changes to rights to seek school placements, and the proposal for mandatory mediation.

The session will help inform responses to the ongoing consultation, as well as giving an overview of how the legal framework for SEND may change in the coming years.

This session will be delivered by Steve Broach, a barrister at 39 Essex Chambers who specialises in the law affecting disabled children and young people. Steve is co-author of ‘Disabled Children: A Legal Handbook’, published by Legal Action Group.

The session will be interactive with plenty of opportunity for questions, although please note that Steve will only be able to answer general questions in these sessions and will not be able to give any case specific advice.
