About this Event
We are excited to announce the next OP Connect Primary School Conference, delivered in partnership with Achieving for Children.
This FREE afternoon conference is open to Primary Leaders, SENDCos and professionals working across primary school SEND and inclusion, bringing together expert insight, practical workshops and discussion at a particularly important time for schools.
With the Government’s Every Child Achieving and Thriving reforms, the SEND reform programme, Inclusive Mainstream Fund and move towards National Inclusion Standards, the conference will explore what these developments mean in practice and how schools can support every child to achieve and thrive.
