of inclusive practice within the early years, working together
to break down barriers, increase awareness and challenge current
methods, then this conference will be of interest to you.

programme of high profile speakers, together with an exhibition,
will enable delegates to find out about the latest developments,
view a range of resources and share experience, knowledge
and information with others involved and interested in SEN
