Engaging with young people and adults with SEND

21st Oct 2015

Description
Many professionals working in careers, education and social services have caseloads that include young people and adults with SEND. If you are new to this area of work you may have specific training needs to help you build your knowledge and confidence in working with this client group.

The CDI has created this one-day regional conference programme to provide practitioners with a valuable opportunity to learn more about what it means to have a disability, some of the issues people with difficulties/disabilities face and to suggest possible ways of working with this diverse client group.

Learning outcomes
