Making Participation Work - Practitioners Free Conference
As part of the Department for Education funded Making Participation Work programme, the Council for Disabled Children is delivering their next national practitioner’s conference on Tuesday 18th October 2022. The conference aims to bring together participation, co-production, engagement practitioners, and strategic managers to discuss how SEND youth voice and engagement plays a role in developing quality local area provision. The event is aimed at professionals and practitioners designing and delivering participation and co-production at a strategic level across children and young people’s health, education, and social care.
Attendees will select two workshops to attend from a variety of topics, and a plenary session, all focusing on giving participants more tools for engaging with children and young people with SEND. The event will be interactive and attendees will be able to contribute via discussion and online tools.
Workshops will be announced following sign up and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
Feedback from their past conferences includes:
- “very well presented by the young people, very inspirational”
- “I’ve come away with more ideas to share with the [young people] I work with”
- “Really great workshop. Young people led. Loved it”
- “As always a really valuable and informative event”
If anyone is concerned about accessibility, engaging during workshops, or their computer skills they welcome you getting in touch to support.
The conference will be held online via Zoom.
