The long-awaited SEND and AP Improvement Plan sets out a commitment to delivering an Alternative Provision System that is fully integrated within the wider SEND system. The three-tier model for alternative provision will focus on early support for mainstream schools, time-limited intensive placements and longer-term placements that support a return to mainstream settings.
Join us for this brand-new one-day virtual conference to hear from a range of experts on the integration of AP within the SEND system. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of the proposed changes, and ideas for how to start your preparation.
