The focus for this conference was the future for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) policy and followed the introduction of the new SEND Code of Practice in September 2014.
Delegates considered the impact of the Code of Practice and the range of new support available to families, including the Local Offer and personal budgets. Interested parties also reflected on how the reforms are working in practice, as well as implementation issues such as the transition from SEN statements to Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans, which provide wrap-around support up to the age of 25.
Further sessions examined wider issues related to support into adulthood, including measures to improve post-16 provision and widen access to further education, university and employment.
