Business Design Centre, London
The SEND Leadership Summit returns for its fifth year, delivered in partnership with the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL). This exclusive one-day conference, part of the Tes SEND Show London, brings together education leaders to learn alongside peers and sector experts.
Following the DfE’s Schools White Paper and SEND consultation outcomes, which will set out ambitions for specialist SEND support in every school and community and wider reforms to improve outcomes, the Summit provides a timely forum to hear from peers, and reflect on what these changes mean in practice.
Attendees will explore the evolving SEND landscape, network with peers and consider how they, as sector leaders, can shape and implement these reforms to deliver improved outcomes for all children and young people.
Your summit ticket gives you:
- Access to the main Tes SEND Show Friday Keynote session
- Exclusive access to the SEND Leadership Summit Keynote
- Interactive workshops run by prominent figures within the sector
- Networking lunch and refreshments throughout the day
- Invitation to the drinks reception alongside speakers and other invited guests after the summit.
What should I expect?
The keynote and workshop sessions will be run by those at the forefront of driving change for SEND and will allow time for activities and reflection. The programme timetable also includes opportunities for delegates to visit the exhibition and exclusive access to speakers at the summit.
