SEND LAW AND FUNDING EVENT

We are delighted to be welcoming Garry Freeman back to Buckinghamshire to talk about SEND, the law and funding for a second time. The day aims to give leaders a strong understanding of SEND law so they can advocate effectively for their SEND pupils. It is essential training for anyone with pupils who are, or will be, reliant on external funding to meet their support needs.

This event will be of particular interest to Headteachers and SENDCos.

A very eye-opening day.

I feel really empowered by the knowledge I have gained about SEND law today.

I have already used the information I learnt in the session to challenge the legality of some decisions about my pupils.
