Sessions for EVCs and school leaders
The topics discussed by guest speakers include supporting autistic pupils to excel beyond the classroom, on behavioural strategies and allergy safety.
One of the sessions will look at what school leaders and EVCs can take from a concept known as the ‘Dirty Dozen’, a model used in aviation to avoid human error.
