Welcome to the Yorkshire and Humber AV1 Quality Circle

Join us for a dedicated day of collaboration, learning, and connection as we bring together local authorities from across Yorkshire and Humber, following recent AV1 investment in Wakefield, Calderdale, Leeds & Bradford.

This in-person event will take place at The Milner, York – a welcoming venue for sharing best practice, challenges, and ideas as part of our growing AV1 community.

We’re delighted to welcome external speakers, including Cath Kitchen OBE, alongside professionals from education and local government. We’ll also explore insights from other areas in the region using AV1.

Expect insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and the chance to contribute to shaping the future of inclusive education across the region.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
