• Transition support models and multiagency collaboration. • Evidence-based and innovative service models • Input on policies that enhance young people's independence and quality of life.

Session Highlights:

• Interactive breakout discussions on education, employment, and independent living • Insights from organisations experienced in supporting young people with SEND • Real-life perspectives from young people with SEND and their families
