Grab your seat for our FREE SEND White Paper Webinar for Parents and Carers!

The UK Government published the Schools White Paper, "Every Child Achieving and Thriving," on 23 February. The Paper includes some major reform s to the Special Edcuational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system in England.



On 20 April, we invite you to join Heidi Mavir, Founder of EOTAS Matters and special guest, Rachel Filmer, Founder of SEND Rights Allowance and CoFounder of Save Our Children's Rights for a deep dive into the SEND White Paper in FREE online Webinar.



We will be focusing our conversation around the proposed changes to EHCPs nd Specialist Provision. We will discuss what those changes could mean for neurodivergent students, particularly those experiencing barriers to attendance.



What we'll cover:

What is the SEND White Paper and what does it mean for my child or young person?

What do I REALLY need to know - 10 legal rights that would be scrapped under the proposals.

How can I respond to the public consultation? And should I even bother?

What else can I do to help campaigners who are fighting for our childrens' rights to a specialist support in education?

Where to go for more help and support

A replay will be sent to everyone who registers.

When you register, we will also send you a link to Heidi's White Paper Appraisal, which covers the basic content of the White Paper proposals.
