LASGB Summer Workshop 2024 – With a SEND Focus

This face-to-face LASGB workshop, was held at the Tickled Trout, New Road, Preston, PR5 0UJ, focused on SEND issues but was of interest to governors in all sectors especially those who are responsible for SEND matters. As a consequence, it was very well attended.

The workshop included:

An update on progress towards implementing the DfE Green Paper “SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan” was presented by one of our own Exec Members, Mandy Howarth. Her PPT is available here.

These  were also referred to: SEND Green Paper and REACh info and newsletter.

The EHCP process in Lancashire – we were pleased to be joined by speakers from Lancashire SENDIAS. Their PPT is available here. Many thanks to Laura Morris SENDIAS Manager, Gayle Lavelle SENDIAS Officer and Sarah Algar SENDIAS Liaison Officer for their sterling work – during the evening and for our children

Throughout the evening there were opportunities for networking with governor colleagues.

Feedback from the event concerning the room, especially acoustics, and the refreshments has been taken on board!

The meeting ended as planned before 9pm
