SEND: Finding the Right Fit for Your Child

Every child has different needs, and finding the right educational environment can make a real difference to their journey. This session explores the options available for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), from specialist schools and mainstream settings with strong learning support to online education and alternative approaches. Hear practical insights into the benefits and considerations of each, what to look for when assessing a school’s provision, and the additional support available beyond the classroom.
