Introduction to SEND Law: 30th September

Date: Friday 30th September

Duration: 5.25 hours (09:45 - 15.00, including breaks and Q&A)

Format: virtual, via Zoom webinar

This one day training is designed specifically for parents, carers and supporting family members of children with special educational needs and disabilities, providing an introduction to SEND law, and empowering attendees to secure the right education for their child. 

This training day covers:

• The Law – where to find it; the basic definitions; scope
• How should a nursery, school or college help?
• How should a local authority help?
• The process to obtaining an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan
• What should an EHC plan contain?
• Naming a school/college in an EHC plan 

The content is particularly relevant for parents and carers who are looking to secure additional support at school and/or an EHC plan for their child, but would also be suitable for those who already have an EHC plan in place and would like to learn more about the law and how it applies to children and young people.  

The training session is presented live by a member of our legal team, with plenty of opportunity for questions. 

If you have a question regarding this training session, please get in touch. 

Please note, this training relates to the law as it applies in England. This virtual training will only go ahead provided there are sufficient bookings. We will offer an alternative date or refund if this session is cancelled.
