This network is chaired by Debbie Lyall, Head of Department – Independent Living and Work Skills at Highbury College. In the last year, delegates have heard from LSIS and the Education Funding Agency as well as being updated on developments around the Green Paper on Special Educational Needs.  The group is also particularly active at the moment running a series of competitions for their learners, being sponsored by ASDAN, which is helping to promote the excellent work that colleges are doing in this field.
