We are pleased to be attending the Alternative Provision Newcastle Conference on Wednesday 11th February, hosted by Westminster Insight. The event brings together professionals from across alternative provision, schools, pupil referral units, local authorities and colleges to explore current challenges, policy developments and best practice within the sector.
Alternative provision continues to play a critical role in supporting children and young people with complex needs. With increasing scrutiny, evolving statutory guidance and a strong focus on safeguarding and quality assurance, events like this provide a valuable opportunity to stay informed and prepared.
The Benefits of Attending
Understand the latest policy and regulatory developments
The conference agenda focuses on current and upcoming changes affecting alternative provision, including Government policy, commissioning arrangements and accountability. This is particularly valuable for leaders and commissioners who need clarity on expectations and compliance.
Learn from experienced practitioners and sector leaders
Delegates will hear from senior figures working across education, local authorities and specialist provision. Sessions include practical insights, national perspectives and case studies that can be applied directly to day-to-day practice.
Share challenges and solutions with peers
The event provides time and space to network with colleagues facing similar challenges. These conversations often prove just as valuable as the formal sessions, helping to share ideas, approaches and lessons learned.
Focus on improving outcomes for pupils
Above all, the conference centres on improving engagement, safeguarding and outcomes for pupils in alternative provision, with a strong emphasis on inclusion, reintegration and effective monitoring.
