SEND Conference Success

20 October 2022

Over 300 delegates attended our first face to face SEND conference for over two years during the summer. The event, organised by Cheshire East Council’s inclusion and quality team, was held at Cranage Hall and aimed to support SENCO , professionals and parents – providing opportunities to hear key speakers sharing key national, regional and local updates as well as the opportunity to network.

Delegates were also able to attend up to four workshops covering subjects such as speech and language, mental health, early years and supported internships.

We’ve had some great feedback, which we have shared below, and recordings are available for those who were unable to attend.  Please contact inclusionqualityteam@cheshireeast.gov.uk for these.

A short film of the event is also available.
