This seminar followed the released draft Additional Learning Needs (ALN) Bill, and was an opportunity to examine key reforms included in the Bill ‐ including a new single support framework for learners with ALN up to the age of 25, and further strategies to identify and eliminate barriers to learning.
Sessions focused on how to facilitate greater cooperation and trust between schools, local authorities, and parents and carers; ways of providing a fairer and more transparent system of advice and information; and approaches to nurturing more effective partnerships between agencies, and schools and local authorities.
The conference brought together key policymakers and regulators with stakeholders including school and college leaders; local authorities; local health boards; parents and carers' groups; teaching unions; educational charities and bodies; academics and other interested parties.
