Grounded in a rare triple perspective—combining rigorous academic research, frontline practice, and lived parental experience—these sessions dismantle the single-identity approach to SEND. Multi-agency practitioners and strategic leads are equipped to look beyond isolated diagnostic categories, confronting instead how race, culture, class, and institutional bias intersect to trap children in systemic gridlock. This training delivers the structural clarity required to understand a child's complete, multi-layered reality and transform multi-agency delivery into a model of true, intersectional equity.
