Ensuring that every young person with SEND has access to good quality Supported Internships
We are a network over 400 individuals representing the education, charity, local and national government and employment sectors.
What We Do
We hold monthly meetings, liaise with Government Departments working to raise the profile of Supported Internships with employers.
We have an online repository of guidance documents and templates which is available for members to use free of charge.
We are planning to include more conferences and expanding our membership to include representatives from every area of England.
