Sensory impairment resource base provision - Join the discussion - Online via Microsoft Teams

Who is this event for?

This event is for SI heads or senior leaders of schools and support services, heads and managers of VI, HI/deaf, SI resource base provision and colleagues in organisations working with children and young people with sensory impairment in schools and settings.

What will the event cover?

Specialist resource bases, often referred to as resource bases (RBs) or specialist resource provisions (SRPs) or units are additional provisions within mainstream schools that support children and young people with specific needs, including SI.

The UK Government has wide-ranging long-term plans for reform to help more pupils with SEND to have their needs met in mainstream schools. As part of this the Department for Education (DfE) is currently researching into the impact of SEND units and resourced provision in mainstream schools and academies and how they operate. NatSIP is working with the DfE to explore models of specialist SI provision.

Why should I attend?

This event will be an opportunity to hear from the DfE policy lead for the SEND unit research, and to share knowledge and learning about existing SI provision, with a focus on the different models for low incidence resourced provision.

Who are the speakers?

Speakers will include David Hitchman for the DfE and colleagues from within the SI sector.
