Promoting learning for children with special needs and disabilities:Current policy and innovation in England

In a two year pilot (2009-2011) involving 454 schools and 28,000 pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), a programme called ‘Achievement for All’ (AfA) demonstrated huge impact in terms of outcomes for the children and cultural change in schools. There are now over 1,200 schools using the AfA programme. This seminar will describe the AfA approach and engage participants in practical discussion and activities relating to the AfA programme.
