The National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF) recently shared with us some online events that the Council for Disabled Children (CDC) will be delivering in relation to the SEND Reform Government Consultation.

They are delivering a series of information webinars which are designed to support different audiences to understand what is most relevant to them in the “SEND Reform: Putting Children and Young People First” government consultation.

Please visit the CDC’s website for more information and to register for the information webinar that best reflects you/your role:

  • Information Webinar for Parents and Carers (1) : Monday, 9 March 2026, 10am – 11am
  • Information Webinar for Parents and Carers (2) : Tuesday, 10 March 2026, 1pm – 2pm
  • Information Webinar for Education Settings : Tuesday 10 March 2026 – 10.30am – 11.30am
  • Information Webinar for Health professionals : Monday, 9 March 2026, 11am – 12pm
  • Information Webinar for Social Care professionals : Wednesday, 11 March 2026, 11am – 12pm
  • Information Webinar for Local Authority Leaders : Tuesday, 10 March 2026, 10am – 11am

NOTES:

  • If you are a parent/carer, you only need to register for one of the 2 webinars for parents and carers, as the content will be the same.
  • As these are just information sessions, there will not be an opportunity to ask any questions during the session.
  • These are information sharing sessions designed to help people understand the content of the SEND consultation paper and do not form part of an official consultation. Please visit the official SEND Reform Consultation page to respond to the consultation.

Online Consultation Conversation Events

After the information webinars have taken place, the Council for Disabled Children will be delivering a series of online consultation conversation events to discuss the SEND consultation paper in more detail.  They will share this information on their LinkedIn page and update their website when these events are available to book.
