Conferences & Collaborations
At Included Education Solutions, we believe that meaningful progress in education comes from collaboration and shared expertise. That’s why we actively engage in speaking at conferences, contributing articles, and partnering with organisations that share our commitment to improving learning outcomes. By exchanging ideas, sharing best practices, and amplifying diverse perspectives, we not only strengthen our own work but also help drive innovation across the wider educational community. Through these efforts, we aim to foster stronger connections, spark new conversations, and collectively shape a brighter future for learners everywhere.
We are delighted to share that IncludEd Education Solutions will be strategic partners in the Annual National SEND and Inclusion Conference 2026, taking place in Nottingham on 17th March 2026. National SEND & Inclusion Conference

It promises to be a fantastic day dedicated to sharing practice, celebrating impact, and driving forward inclusion across education.
Stay tuned for updates and announcements over the coming months – we can’t wait to share
As part of her role with IQM, Emily recently led the organisation of Celebrating Inclusive Education in the North East and Beyond, a national inclusion conference delivered in partnership with the University of Sunderland and proudly sponsored by AK Teaching. Held in July, the event brought together a vibrant community of educators, families, leaders, practitioners, and advocates, all united by a shared belief that inclusive education has the power to transform lives. Far more than a traditional conference, the day was filled with energy, collaboration, and inspiration, providing delegates with new connections, practical strategies, and renewed hope to carry forward into their own settings. This celebration of inclusion highlighted the strength of partnership and the impact that can be achieved when passion and purpose come together.
Emily recently spoke at Westminster Insight AP conference, in her IQM role, discussing: next steps for unregistered APs, commissioning and quality improvement; Putting inclusion at the heart of AP provision; Using AP as a short-term intervention instead of a long-term destination; Improving outcomes for children who go to AP and Funding and commissioning AP.

•How to recognise and tackle staff burnout in your school, identifying the Maslach factors that cause it.
•Why teachers putting ‘a brave face on it’ is ineffective: Jonathan Glazzard presents his ground- breaking research identifying a connection between teacher wellbeing, pupil emotional response and attainment.
•What ‘buffer’ leadership is and why recognising it is crucial to the headteacher’s mental health.
