Welcoming families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

We know that two thirds of SEND families are keen to visit museums even with COVID-19 restrictions in place. Our recent survey also found that there are key improvements that museums can make to better support the needs of a SEND child within a family group once the pandemic is over.

During this virtual training event, we will:

• understand the barriers SEND families face when visiting museums
• explore examples of best practice in museums for welcoming SEND families
• share top tips for how to start and embed work in your organisation.

Take a look at the full schedule.

This training event will be delivered virtually over two and a half hours (with a short break) by Sam Bowen, Special Needs Mum and Museum Development Officer.

Who should attend?

This training is aimed at staff who work in museums, art galleries and heritage sites who are interested in making their organisations more welcoming to families with SEND. Freelancer and Pay What You Can tickets are available, please email [email protected] to find out more.
