Roundtable: Alternative Learning Provision in a Digital World

  • Online
  • 26 Nov 2025 (15:00 - 17:00)

Alternative Learning Provision (ALP) is under increased scrutiny as schools navigate rising demand, inconsistent quality, and evolving policy. With new DfE guidance, growing concern over unregistered settings, and continued pressure from absenteeism and SEND needs, leaders face both challenge and opportunity — to shape provision that is safe, inclusive, and future-ready.

This virtual access pass provides online entry to nasen and Nisai Group’s in-person roundtable, co-chaired by Annamarie Hassell MBE and Dhruv Patel, bringing together headteachers, trust leaders and local authority decision makers to explore:

  • How digital tools can strengthen ALP and support pupils with additional needs
  • Leadership strategies for safeguarding, accountability and reintegration
  • The intersection of SEND, wellbeing and digital inclusion
  • Real-world case studies and shared learning from across England

Join us online to gain practical insights and strategic foresight to help your organisation deliver inclusive, future-ready provision.
