About this Event
Join us for a powerful and practical morning designed to help employers gain confidence, insight, and inspiration in offering meaningful work placements to students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Young people with SEND represent a huge pool of untapped talent—yet they often face significant barriers when progressing into employment. This event brings together employers, educators, and advocates to demystify the process, share real success stories, and explore the benefits of truly inclusive workplaces.
Whether you’re new to SEND placements or already supporting learners, you’ll leave with clear actions, increased confidence, and the knowledge needed to make a real difference.
