Listening to children with complex additional support needs

Join Claire from Enquire in this free webinar designed to support education staff to gather and respond to the views of children and young people with complex needs. We will provide you with an overview of the laws, guidance, and best practice related to gathering the views of children who communicate in exceptional ways. 

In this session we will explore: 

• Different approaches to offer more opportunities for us to listen 

• How we make sense of the communication of children with complex needs 

• Using the Lundy Model of child participation to capture and amplify the voice of the child 

The session includes a 1-hour presentation, followed by a 30-minute question and answer session. 

This event is designed for professionals within mainstream and specialist provisions supporting children and young people with complex needs.

This event will be delivered online - a link to join will be sent to your supplied email address once you have registered to attend.
