Online Launch Will Highlight ‘Devastating and Shocking’ Experiences of SEND Children and Young People in Bucks
So that as many people as possible can attend, the launch has been postponed to Thursday 24 July at 2pm. All current attendees who’ve already registered will automatically get registered for the new event.
New research by local disability charity BuDS has highlighted the ‘devastating and shocking’ experience of SEND children and young people in Bucks within education. The results of the three-year research study will dismay parents and teachers, and add to the pressure on Buckinghamshire Council to improve SEND* education in Bucks.
BuDS will be revealing the outcome of their research at a live online launch event on Thursday 24 July 2025, and disabled/SEND young people, parents and carers, and all education professionals are invited to attend. Journalists and reporters are also welcome. The charity will also be announcing a major new initiative to improve SEND education in Bucks at the event.
Launch Details
- 24 July 2025, 2-4 pm (access from 1:45 pm)
