Course summary
This year’s Patoss Annual Virtual Conference – Unlocking potential: from universal screening to targeted support – aligns directly with the government’s newly published white paper Every child achieving and thriving.
The white paper sets out a national ambition for inclusive, high‑quality education, emphasising early identification, targeted support and a stronger, more consistent SEND system. It highlights a move from “narrow to broad”, ensuring all children are included and equipped to thrive through early help, adaptive teaching and a clear, staged support model.
The conference programme addresses these priorities head‑on. -
