📢 Announcing our latest keynote contributor
We are delighted to welcome Janet Collins, Head of the Specialist Provision Unit within the SEND and AP Directorate at the Department for Education (DfE) to the EfL LearningShared National Conference 2026.
Janet will lead a keynote session titled: “SEND Reform: Putting Children and Young People First”
This session will provide valuable insight into the direction of SEND reform and what these developments may mean for specialist providers and the wider system. It offers a timely opportunity to hear directly from the SEND and AP Directorate and to reflect on how policy can be translated into meaningful provision and practice.
Roundtable Discussions
In keeping with the collaborative nature of EfL LearningShared events, Janet will also facilitate two roundtable discussions, creating space for colleagues to share perspectives and contribute to the ongoing conversation:
Roundtable 1: Delivering for the Long-Term
What infrastructure is needed to enable the sector to provide robust, specialist packages for pupils requiring long-term support?
Roundtable 2: Bridging the Gap
What do we need in place to empower specialist organisations to deliver effective outreach support to mainstream settings?
Who should attend?
This session will be particularly relevant for specialist providers, school and trust leaders, and SEND practitioners who are shaping inclusive provision across their settings.
📅 Friday 8th May 2026
📍 Friends House, London
We would be delighted to welcome you to join the conversation and contribute to this important dialogue.
