IPSEA, Douglas Silas Solicitors and Matrix Chambers SEN Law Conference 2021
March 2, 2021 – March 4, 2021
The SEN Law Conference will provide the latest legal and policy updates across all aspects of SEN law.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on children and young people with special educational needs. Join us to examine how the policy landscape has changed during the previous 12 months, and hear from contributors across a range of topics.
This year, the conference is virtual, and will take place online across three mornings to ensure that content is delivered in shorter, digestible segments. Presentations and Q&A sessions will be delivered live, and participants will also have the opportunity to network online with contributors and fellow attendees.
