The main purpose of this network is to provide a platform for delegates to share and discuss issues relating to learners with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The focus of this network is to share practical solutions to current challenges.

Each meeting includes colleges sharing their experience and approaches.

Several external organisations have attended, including the Natspec, the Department for Education, Talkback, and AoC

Group discussions feature at every network, giving delegates the opportunity to raise any concerns or challenges, as well as share best practice with the group members.

Gemma Baker, Director of Strategy, AOSEC and a SEND Sector Leader, currently chairs this network.
