Education Network
Our next meeting will be on 9th October 2026, in London.
Our Network works with the SE19 SEND Network, liaising about parallel developments across education including children and young people with SEND and support for implementation of the DfE’s Every Child Achieving and Thriving white paper and the reforms to the SEND system.
SESLIP is in the process of planning our work for 2026-27 as guided by our Steering Group and in line with DfE priorities and RIIA grant. In the meantime here is this Network’s most recent forward plan for information.
