The workshop range and options this year will be our best yet. And we want to match that diversity in the community coming together to share practice and make impact through this event: the only UK-wide, whole-sector conference focused solely on Service children. See you there!

And thanks for all you continue to do for the @scipalliance community and thousands of Service children who will never meet you - and lots who will, of course!

And what a pleasure it was! The combination of quick-fire specialist inputs (including ACTUAL Armed Forces parents with first-hand experience with the works of SEND) and purposeful, solutions/focused discussion was great. Well done @PoppyLegion!

Huge thanks to our panellists. We’ll be exploring how to respond to the unique, personal and changing identities of Service children in national and local policy, organisational practice, and research. Can’t wait!
