Keynote speakers

Dame Tanni Grey Thompson

Tanni Grey-Thompson is Britain's best-known Paralympic athlete, having performed at world-class level found the world to every major international event. Her 13 medals, eight medal placings in the London Marathon and her comprehensive set of British and World records make her achievements second to none in the disability sports arena. Tanni plays an active role within the sports administration and is also a much loved and respected individual off the track, appearing on many high profile media programmes.

Representative from the Department for Education

A policy update and discussion session on the Green Paper for Children and Young People with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

At the time of this conference the government’s Green Paper will have recently been published. We are delighted that a senior colleague from the Department for Education with a thorough working knowledge of the planned legislation and the policy direction for the years ahead, will attend the conference to lead the session. A mixture of both presentation and discussion will enable delegates to consider and respond to possible forthcoming legislative and policy changes.

Workshops

Delegates will attend two workshops. Each workshop is being led by an individual who is making a leading contribution within each of the themes. The workshops will be rich with practical examples of assistive technology and effective interventions that make a significant contribution to the access and achievement of physically impaired pupils and promote greater learning for independence.

Marketplace

There will be information and/or representatives from a range of specialist organisations at the conference that can support curriculum work in schools with pupils and students with physical disability.
