Headteacher Strategic Engagement Session - SEND Reform
This strategic session will provide an opportunity to:
- Help shape Leicester's shared vision for SEND support and inclusion through to 2029.
- Explore the role of school leaders in creating a more inclusive education system.
- Consider how SEND reform supports wider priorities around attendance, achievement, belonging, wellbeing and school improvement.
- Influence how support is organised through Leicester's six locality clusters to strengthen collaboration between schools, trusts and partner agencies.
- Discuss how the additional investment available through the SEND Reform Programme, including Experts at Hand, can have the greatest impact for children, young people and schools.
- Explore how we build a system that provides support earlier, reduces reliance on statutory processes and enables more children and young people to thrive in their local communities.
- Identify the leadership, culture and partnership changes needed to deliver long-term improvement across the city.
This is not consultation on a completed model. The purpose of the session is to co-produce Leicester's future SEND system together, ensuring that the voices of school leaders help shape both the vision and the practical delivery of reform from the outset.

SENDCo Engagement Event - North Cluster
Have Your Say: Shaping Leicester's SEND Reforms Together
To support multi-agency working and the targeted deployment of support across education, social care and health, we will be working within six locality clusters. Each cluster will draw on shared locality intelligence and evidence-informed practice, with Experts at Hand deployed directly into your neighbourhood to build capacity in schools and settings, not accessed through referral and waiting lists.
We are committed to shaping future ways of working with schools, settings and partners, not for them. We are therefore pleased to invite you to a series of locality engagement events taking place throughout the autumn term.
