We were delighted to welcome 90 delegates to a full programme for the NatSIP Online Working Day today, 19 April 2023.

There was some excellent reflection and discussion on the SEND and AP Improvement Plan and where the strategy for success for SI learners might fit in the wider plans for SEND locally, regionall and nationally.

We heard from André Imich at DfE about the plan. Brian Lamb talked about the implications for SI provision. Karen Flanagan looked at the opportunities the Improvement Plan might offer to a Local Authority.

Specialist training is an important part of workforce development and Jackie Salter, Rory McDonnell and Tina Wakefield brought us up to date with the new learning outcomes for the SI Mandatory Qualifications for teachers and the proposal for a QTSI Apprenticeship.

The VIEW conference took place in March and John Rous Milligan gave feedback from discussions there about National Standards.

We are pleased to make the speaker presentations available below.
