Education Practice

Working across the sector we bring together the best in policy and practice.

We work with different groups of professionals and with parents, carers, children and young people to identify the practices that best support disabled children and young people and those with special educational needs to learn, make good progress and secure the best possible educational outcomes.

We provide guidance, resources and training to help schools, early years providers and local authorities develop practices that work for children and young people. We work closely with colleagues with expertise in participation and in preparation for adulthood to ensure that practices are responsive to children and young people.
