Lamb Inquiry: Parents invited to attend session with Brian Lamb

Hi all

I just wanted to let you know that you are all invited to three meetings wwith Brian Lamb, the Chair of the Lamb Inquiry and the Special Educational Consortium.

The Lamb Inquiry was established as part of the Government’s response to the House of Commons Education and Skills Committee Report Special Educational Needs: Assessment and Funding. The Lamb Inquiry, under the chairmanship of Brian Lamb, the Chair of the Special Educational Consortium, is investigating a range of ways in which parental confidence in the SEN assessment process might be improved.  For more information on the Lamb Inquiry: www.dcsf.gov.uk/lambinquiry

This Inquiry is making some really important progress and we think its incredibly important that parents are involved in the inquiry.  If you haven't already, this is a chance for you to meet with Brian Lamb, hear more about the inquiry and help to shape the next set of recommendations coming out of the inquiry.

The meetings are quite soon, and based in London or Leeds. If anyone can make them we would strongly suggest that you do attend. The dates are:

London 16th July:   10.00am – 2.00pm

London 16th July:   5.00pm – 7.00pm

Leeds 30th July:      10.00am – 2.00pm

More information about these meetings is below:

The call for written evidence has just closed and TreeHouse submitted a response which you can find with other responses to consultation in our Influencing Decision-Makers pages on our website.

I hope this is useful. Do any of you think you might like to come along?

Let me know if you have any questions about the event.

Many thanks
