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 explores 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 recorded session, 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.
The recorded session is 75 minutes long and delivered 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.
