SEND at a Crossroads: Policy reform for accountable, sustainable inclusive education

21 Jan 2026
The Arena
Leadership Diversity & Inclusion SEND

With the Education Committee’s SEND report published in September and the long-anticipated White Paper expected any day now, the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities landscape is at a pivotal juncture. The panel will explore how the sector can confront today’s most pressing challenges while laying down the foundations for a more sustainable, equitable SEND system for the future.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion featuring leading experts, advocates, and school leaders committed to meaningful, lasting change as they consider the direction of travel. Together, they will discuss what is required to deliver bold, transformative change to deliver SEND support as an integral part of mainstream education, underpinned by statutory entitlements, consistent national standards, ring-fenced and properly allocated funding, and a sustainable funding model.
