As an experienced teacher and SENDCo, I have worked in primary and secondary schools in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex. I have a particular interest in the implementation of SEND provision in mainstream schools and developed my research during the pandemic lockdowns to write my book 'Inclusive Education at the Crossroads: exploring effective special education in Global contexts,' with my co-author Professor Garry Hornby. I have since written short related papers for international publications. I'm also a great supporter of Special Needs Jungle which I follow keenly. I belong to the SEND Policy Research Forum, and the Division of International Special Education & Services (Dises). I am now continuing some independent research exploring the causes behind the growing rise in the number of children presenting with SEND and would welcome the views of other researchers on this subject.
As the UK's largest show in the sector, the Tes SEND Show brings together expertise from across the sector to help you bring learning alive for pupils with SEND.
Through a rich mix of content spread across two days, you will:
gain the latest policy updates and what recommendations mean for you in practice
take home tools and strategies at the cutting-edge of SEND provision
put your questions to policy influencers
share your successes and challenges with your peers
test the latest products and receive exclusive offers from exhibitors
The 2023 show saw a brilliant turn-out, with a packed floor of exhibitors, delegates and speakers. All seminars will be uploaded to the SEND Network video library.
