Pupils  in mainstream and special schools are being offered exciting opportunities to learn online, whether at school, at home, or in the community. But are these opportunities open to all? This conference will explore entitlement, policy and practice for all those with special needs - including the estimated two percent with severe and complex needs. And ask what we – as a community of stakeholders – need to do to ensure real access for all?
