With SEND needs at an all‑time high and national reforms (the upcoming Schools White Paper) being co‑created with families and professionals, the future of school design demands genuine collaboration.

This panel will examine the current demographic alongside the importance of early stakeholder engagement. The session will explore how engagement methods tailored for neurodiverse users can not only help meet the increasing demand for SEND provision in mainstream settings, but also foster environments that support and benefit all learners.
