As the education system in the UK enters a period of change, and the political and educational factions argue about the future of provision, it’s all too easy to forget those for whom it is really intended – SEN children.

Whatever the procedure in the future, it should be based on best practice and sound principles and always be centred around the child concerned. Towards a Positive Future focuses on these practices and principles, not only from the point of view of the professionals involved but those of parents and children too, and it highlights how what has been learned from the past should underpin any future process.

Towards a Positive Future will be launched at Towards a Positive Future, a 2-day conference for parents and professionals. For full information about the event, follow the link to: http://www.wordswell.co.uk/conference/
