SEND Eastern Region Forum

The Eastern Region Forum allows all Local Authorities and Partnerships to share up-to-date information to inform and improve outcomes for all.

About this Forum

The Eastern Region Forum meets quarterly and provides a welcoming space for people across the region to come together, connect, and share learning.

The forum exists to:

  • Share up‑to‑date and upcoming information relevant to the Eastern region
  • Offer practical advice, guidance, and good practice
  • Promote and strengthen inclusive practice across services, organisations, and communities
  • Create opportunities for networking, collaboration, and shared learning

Each meeting includes a mix of regional updates, presentations, and to share experiences. Content is shaped by regional priorities and emerging issues, ensuring discussions remain relevant, supportive, and forward‑looking.

Who can attend?

The forum is open to everyone. We welcome:

  • Professionals and practitioners
  • People with lived experience
  • Voluntary and community sector organisations
  • Partners, stakeholders, and anyone with an interest in inclusive practice within the Eastern region
