Special Education Needs - Where Are We Now?

Introduction

Eight and a half years have now elapsed since Part II of the Children and Families Act 2014 came into force. This led to the biggest overhaul of the special educational needs regime for many years.

In this live broadcast session we will examine some of the key developments of the new regime, as well as a detailed consideration of case law at appellate court level.

It will also provide a guide to effective advocacy, whether acting for a parent, young person or local authority in the First Tier Tribunal.
