Westminster Education Forum Keynote Seminar: Special Educational Needs - next steps 2010

This timely seminar will look at the future of educational provision for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in a climate of severe budgetary constraint. It comes as the Government prepares to launch a wide-ranging Green Paper on SEN in the autumn and follows the recent publication of Ofsted`s review of SEN and disabilities in schools. Delegates will examine how Special Educational Needs provision is likely to be affected by proposed changes to the school system, including the establishment of Free Schools and the increase in the number of Academies. The seminar will also bring out latest thinking on optimal learning environments for pupils with SEN and look at current policies of inclusion and the future role of special schools.
