Training for SENDIASS

We offer bespoke human rights support for people and loved ones accessing services; community groups and advocates; public officials; and policy professionals involved in the field of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Workshops for SEND human rights capacity-building or resource creation are open to a max of 45 participants per session. The cost depends on the length of time, the nature and annual turnover of the organisation booking the support. We can deliver this support both online and face-to-face.​

Practice Leads Programme Participant

"You MUST get on this, it has changed my outlook as a whole, educated me and enabled me to have the courage to share this with friends, family and colleagues. This should be accessible for everyone (can't express or sing this from the rooftops enough!)"
