SEND, Inclusion & the Future of Education: Ideas That Make a Real Difference
Join us for a practical, and empowering event designed for anyone working to create more inclusive, supportive environments for children and young people. This gathering brings together SEND practitioners, SENCOs, parents, school staff, and community partners to explore meaningful ways to improve inclusion, strengthen support systems, and share what works.
Event Schedule
Welcome
We’ll open by setting a supportive tone for the day, sharing our aims, and acknowledging the everyday realities of SEND provision across schools, educational settings and communities.
What Inclusive Practice Looks Like in Real Life
Hear from our guest speaker, Patrick Hickey, exploring honest, experience-led insights into inclusion, looking at what truly makes a difference for children with SEND, how to remove barriers, and how school culture can evolve to better meet diverse needs.
New WRS Insights with ParentPay
Explore fresh data and research around SEND support, family experiences, accessibility, and the changing needs of children across the country.
Coffee Break
A relaxed opportunity to talk, listen, and share lived experiences, whether as a practitioner, parent, or professional supporting SEND learners.
Pick ’n’ Mix Ideas Session
An interactive showcase of inclusive strategies, communication tools, simple adjustments, and real examples of what’s working in schools and communities right now.
Hands-On Inclusion Workshops
Work collaboratively to discuss practical ideas and next steps that improve SEND support. Together, we’ll have the opportunity to explore challenges, co-create solutions, and outline actions you can take back to your setting.
Food, Drinks & Networking
Make meaningful connections with people who genuinely understand the joys and challenges of inclusion. A gentle, open space for conversation and community.
Who’s it for?
SENCOs, SEND practitioners, school staff, pastoral teams, inclusion leads, community organisations, and anyone committed to creating equitable, supportive learning environments.
Why come along?
You’ll leave with practical ideas, fresh perspectives, and new relationships to help strengthen SEND provision and make inclusion a lived reality, not just a policy.
