Special Educational Needs/Disabilities (SEND) Conference 2010

Inspiring a legacy of excellence for allBaroness Sue Campbell, Chair, Youth Sport Trust

30 November and 1 December 2010

East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham

In the words of Schopenhauer, 'every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world'. It is with this in mind that the focus of the conference is to reflect on the networks vision, and look at how special schools and wider partners are working towards ensuring that all young people, with special needs and disabilities are accessing excellence in education and sport through the specialism.

What's new to the conference this year:

  • Four Innovation Awards
  • Three Development Pathways around physical and sensory, EBD/MLD and CPLD
  • Regional network tables, for Q and A sessions around local work and impact
  • The opportunity to see the 'proven worth' of businesses and national PE and sport organisations working in conjunction with Special Schools
  • Interactive sessions, facilitated by schools for schools, developed on the feedback from the network.

The conference will also include the launch a number of new national resources to support special schools to further extend and develop local opportunities.

 

Who is the conference for?

The conference is aimed at special school headteachers, directors of specialism, SSCo/PLT’s, PE teachers in Sports Colleges and SEN specialist schools. It would also be of great benefit to those who work with SEN pupils/young disabled people in mainstream schools, county and NGB disability officers and others working within PE and sport including FESCos. Competition managers will also find the conference useful.

The conference programme and online registration will be available in September 2010.
