This year’s Tes SEND Show (7-8 October 2022, Business Design Centre, London) is jam-packed full of CPD-certified seminars over the course of both days and is the perfect opportunity to expand your learning and professional development.
Until 30 July, all seminars can be booked at our early-bird rate of just £17 + VAT, and with subjects covering a broad range of essential topics to improve learning outcomes for young learners, with additional themes including mental health and well-being, the SEND review, and SLCN plus much more, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Leadership Summit launch
2022 sees us celebrating our 30th anniversary and we’re delighted to be using this as a platform to launch the Tes SEND Show Leadership Summit. This one-day conference on Friday 7 October (09:30-15:30) taking place within the main show is aimed at senior leaders within the sector.
The Government’s SEND Review published in March, launched a green paper consultation process on SEND and Alternative Provision (AP) to make significant changes in the way we support children and young people with SEND.
Proposed changes to legislation set out in the Review will impact the entire SEND sector and will require strong leaders, ready to challenge existing culture, and a well-resourced workforce ready to think differently in order to meet the needs of the children and young people they support.
This conference brings delegates together with other sector leaders to re-think how we engage and structure the workforce to respond to the challenges ahead.
Full details of the Summit programme can be found on the show’s website (www.tessendshow.co.uk). It includes: Summit Keynote presentation: ‘Making schools inclusive: lessons from international research’ from Mel Ainscow CBE, Emeritus Professor, University of Manchester, three practical workshops from Jane Friswell, Educational Consultant; Debbie Clinton, Education Leadership Expert and Margaret Mulholland, Project Director for Whole School SEND, EEF as well as a peer-to-peer networking lunch and refreshment breaks.
Delegates will have the chance to speak to our experts directly and will leave with actionable insights to implement in their own settings straight away. Places are bookable via the main show website (£150 + VAT) and are strictly limited to 150.
Keynote panel discussions
The main show kicks off both days with free-to-attend keynote panel discussions. Friday’s debate focuses on the undoubted far-reaching effect the Government’s recent review will have on the sector.
Entitled, ‘SEND Green Paper – Implications for Leadership and SEND Delivery’, this vital topic’s debating panellists are André Imich, SEN and Disability Professional Adviser, Department of Education; Dame Christine Lenehan, Director of the Council for Disabled Children (CDC); Dr Carrie Grant, Broadcaster, Campaigner and Parent to four children with SEND; and Annamarie Hassell MBE, Chief Executive and Chair of Whole School SEND, nasen.
Success in transitions to paid employment
Saturday begins with a fantastic case study from Team Domenica on how they have supported young people across Sussex to find meaningful paid employment after completing their education.
Lisa Campbell-Squires, Programme and Strategy Director, Team Domenica; Jane Friswell, Educational Consultant, Jane Friswell SEND Consultancy; and Rosa Monckton MBE, Chair and Founder, Team Domenica will be in discussion and ready to take questions and comments from the audience.
Learn from exhibitors, parents and carers
The Tes SEND Show also provides a number of free-to-attend sessions led by SEND advocates and exhibitors. Throughout both days of the show, attendees can sit in on practical demonstrations of the latest resources in the Exhibitor Workshop Theatre and Exhibitor Spotlight Theatre and learn from the experiences of parents and carers in the Parent, Carer and Teacher Forum. Plus, TeachMeet, the popular meet-up for teachers to share ideas for developing support for learners with SEND, will return on Friday 7 October.
Latest resources
We’re also delighted to be welcoming plenty of exciting exhibitors to the Tes SEND Show 2022, many of whom will be offering exclusive show discounts and giveaways on the latest resources to empower young learners with SEND.
Packed programme of learning experiences
Beverley Walters, Event Director of the Tes SEND Show, said: “The Tes SEND Show remains an essential part of the education calendar for networking, sharing ideas, and exploring the latest resources. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary with the sector, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come to make education a more inclusive experience for all, whilst still looking to what lies ahead in the future.
“We look forward to helping delegates on this onward journey through a packed programme of high-quality learning experiences, in-person networking opportunities and hands-on interaction with the latest learning aids.”
