RISE: Focus on Mainstream Inclusion Conference – South East

Join us for a focus on mainstream inclusion conference featuring inspiring talks, networking, and actionable strategies.
You will hear the government’s vision for an inclusive mainstream school system, and from sector experts about how inclusive schools are providing early, effective support for children with SEND.

This event is for:

  • Secondary school headteachers
  • Senior leaders
  • Those who lead on inclusion and/or SEND in schools, trusts, and local authorities

There is limited capacity at the venue, so we ask that no more than two people register from a single establishment.
For those unable to secure a space, we will offer a series of live webinars covering the main topics on the agenda and the breakout sessions.
