To support the development of the State of the Capital: SEND report and inform our wider targeted support work, LIIA is hosting a series of informal “Listening to London” lunchtime sessions. These one-hour drop-ins provide colleagues across London with a space to explore key themes in the data, share reflections on challenges and strengths within the system, and contribute to emerging analysis.
Each session begins with a brief overview of the relevant data, followed by open group discussion. Insights gathered will directly feed into the State of the Capital report and help shape LIIA’s work going forward.
Colleagues are encouraged to register for the thematic sessions via the links below:
