Working in partnership with SEND families  Thursday 21 November, 10-11.30am  Do you want to build your confidence to work in partnership with families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to improve the provision for them at your museum?  About this training  In the UK, 11% of children are disabled and in England, 18.4% have special educational needs. Adding non-disabled siblings to these numbers increases this potential audience to a fifth of children in the UK. This simple fact is a powerful advocacy tool to make a business case for SEND inclusion in your museum.  In this session, SEND in Museums Consultant Sam Bowen will explore ways to work in partnership with SEND families, drawing on her own professional museum learning knowledge and lived experience as a SEND parent.  During this virtual training event, we will:  think about areas of your provision that you could improve through working with SEND families, find out how to reach out to SEND families that are local to your museum, explore a range of examples of museum partnerships with SEND families to inspire your own work. Take a look at the full schedule.    This virtual training session will be delivered over one and a half hours by Sam Bowen, SEND in Museums Consultant.  Who should attend?  This training is aimed at staff at museums, galleries and heritage sites who are interested in making their organisations more welcoming to SEND families.  There are a limited number of Freelance, Low Income and Student tickets available for this session.
