SENsible25 conference preview with Abigail Hawkins

The SENDcast

The SENsible SENCO, Abigail Hawkins joins Dale for a podcast special episode highlighting what’s on at the SENsible25 SENCO conference on 14th February in Nottingham - and why you should be there!

Abigail shares details on her second annual conference dedicated to helping SENCOs including; a conference overview, networking opportunities, speaker line up and interactive sessions.

“SENsible25 has a theme of ‘all in the room’, so we're all going to be in the room again together. But we also have a sub theme this year. It's about assessment and identification because that's where SEN starts.” Abigail Hawkins, The SENsible SENCO

This event brings together exhibitors, speakers, and SENCOs around the same tables. Join us for a day filled with engaging sessions, laughs and a few moments of realisation, led by experts in Special Educational Needs (SEN), where knowledge is shared and connections are made. From sensory needs to identifying speech and language needs in EAL students, we invite you to be part of this fun filled community day where everyone learns from each other.
