Friday the 30th April - 12.00pm to 1.00pm

During this webinar Lorraine will outline the key transition points in a student’s journey through the education system and the difficulties that some students may encounter at these key points.

For students with an identified SEND these times can be very challenging and cause excessive stress and anxiety to both the student and their family.

Lorraine will share good practice examples and strategies to support transition for all students especially those with SEND.

Once you register for the event a unique single use joining code will be sent to you ahead of the event.
