It’s been a busy time for all of us at SEN Magazine since our last issue. Back in October, SEN Sales Manager Denise and I welcomed a record number of visitors to our stand at the excellent Special Needs London exhibition in Islington.

Highlighting the problems faced by those with autism when they leave full-time education, the event was supported by many SEN luminaries, including Brian Lamb, Children’s Minister Sarah Teather and Robert Buckland MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism.
At November’s NAS Education Roadshow in Newcastle, I heard Dr Glenys Jones present a fascinating keynote speech on improving educational outcomes for children with ASD, while Josh Muggleton really brought to life what school is like for someone with autism.
Later that month, I joined Anita, who runs SEN’s office, for the lively Kidz Up North exhibition in Bolton, and attended two events for which SEN Magazine was the Media Partner: the ISC’s SEN Conference in London drew nearly 300 delegates from the country’s independent schools sector, while the SEN Summit in
Birmingham was an opportunity for in-depth meetings with SEN managers and suppliers.
I also spent a wonderful day at Henshaws College in Yorkshire, receiving a grand tour from Marketing Manager Louise Ashton and the low down on the Arts and Crafts Centre from student guide Nick. I even got to jam on the drums with in-house band the Henshaws Hotspots.
