SUMMARY:CLOtC Event: Supporting SEND students - ensure your setting and activities are accessible and engaging
DESCRIPTION:11% of children and young people in the UK are disabled\, and 18.4% of all UK children have special educational needs. This is therefore a large group of students who are a potential audience and can enjoy your site and activities but may need some adjustments in how you offer it. \nIn this one-hour ‘top-tips’ session with multi-award-winning campaigner\, Museum professional and SEND Mum Sam Bowen (SEND in Museums)\, you’ll learn why engaging with SEND audiences is so important\, not just for them but for your organisation too. You’ll be shown examples of what works best and ideas of how you can start to develop bespoke options at your own site both indoors and outside. \nBy the end of the session\, you will understand the importance and impact you can make on cultural inclusion and know some ways in which you can develop your settings\, activities and offer to make a positive difference to the schools and students visiting. \n  \nThis event is sponsored by LOtC Quality Badge holder: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter.

This year’s theme will focus on ‘Supporting Students to Thrive‘. \n \n \n  \n\nWhat to Expect\nThe CLOtC National Conference sees up to 300 delegates\, including school leaders\, teachers\, educational professionals\, LOtC practitioners and providers from across the UK\, come together for a day of learning\, sharing good practice\, and networking. The programme will include inspiring keynote speakers who will engage and motivate the audience from the start and set the tone for the day ahead; practical and informative workshops led by experts and covering the breadth of learning outside the classroom giving attendees ideas they can implement as soon as they get back to their schools or setting; discussions; and plenty of networking opportunities. \nRead more about the CLOtC National Conference 2023 here and some quotes from last year’s event include: \n“I’m just writing to say how brilliant the conference was. It was the best one I’ve been to. Everything seemed to flow very well\, it was very well planned and presented. I’m sure the choice of workshops will have inspired lots of schools to consider their LOtC journey. The venue was amazing too!”. \n“I just wanted to say how great today’s CLOtC conference was in Kidderminster. As a guest I felt it ran so smoothly with such thought and consideration going into its curation – it was great to be part of it.” \n“Really enjoyed my time at the event and thought it was super useful. It’s very rare I get the opportunity in my position to sit down with teachers who are on the opposite side of the fence as it were and chat things through. Great to see how strong the appetite is amongs them for the widespread adoption of LOtC.” \n“We’re delighted to support such a great initiative. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and took so much away from the conference. Well done for organising it all! You all did a fab job.” \n“Can I say how much I enjoyed the conference last week\, it was great to be able to meet up with so many like minded people\, and hear about their experiences.” \n“Thank you and the rest of the team for a fantastic conference. I really enjoyed presenting\, learning new things and meeting so many contacts. We have come back inspired with new ideas and lots more plans. I have spent this evening handing out lesson plans from your packs I picked up and am running a staff meeting tomorrow about Learning Beyond the Classroom. We cannot thank you all enough for this amazing journey.” \n  \n\n\nBuy your ticket!\nTickets are now on sale. Discounted advanced tickets will end 31st July 2024.
