Include Me TOO have organised an important event for parents and carers from our diverse communities regarding the SEND Reforms on impact on Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children, young people and their families. The event is being delivered online and will include a panel providing insights on what the SEND Reform proposes and what these mean for disabled children, young people and families who have experienced barriers and challenges over the years. There will be opportunity discussions and what can we do collectively to influence better futures for our disabled children and young people as Black, Asian and minoritised SEND communities.

Join them at this event:

A critical conversation on the impact of SEND Reforms on Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children, young people and their families

Discussions will cover:

Do the SEND reforms risk disproportionately affecting Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children and young people?
Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children and young people have faced inequality within the SEND system what needs to change
Why it is important to ensure our voices are heard and views considered within the SEND Reforms Proposal.
How can we collectively address the barriers and challenges for our advocacy, inclusion, representation to protect the futures of our disabled children and young people.


We cannot risk for Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children and young people and families to be further disadvantaged and left further behind.

Do join them and attend this important event as our intersectional experiences continue to be overlooked.
