This conference is aimed at heads of services, lead officers and key decision makers, presenting current thinking on good practice in inclusion and will provide opportunities for both statutory and voluntary sectors to further develop their practice towards inclusive play, childcare, youth and leisure.

Major themes of this conference are the participation of Disabled Children and Young People, workforce development, delivery of the Play agenda and exploring Disabled Young People’s experiences of youth and leisure services.

The day promises to deliver informative and engaging presentations from the DCSF, Council for Disabled Children, Play England and young people from the YP-in (Young People’s Inclusion Network) project amongst others. We will also be running workshops throughout the day.
