Using the Arts to promote Inclusion and increase Attendance

This event is ideal for

School senior leaders of all school settings, SENCOs, Local Authority colleagues based in education/school improvement teams and inclusion, and colleagues based at Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMS. Educators and social workers working with children and young people with an interest in mental health and integration into education.

Programme

The event will offer an introduction, discussion, and case studies of the benefits the arts have on attendance, inclusion in the wider sense, and preventing exclusion.

Look at Hackney Council as a case study and how they are working across Education, Health, and Care in order to look at how we create more opportunities through the arts to support children—specifically looking at those who may be at risk of exclusion, as well as how we support children who have emotional based school non-attendance (EBSNA) to start to engage more positively within their education experience.

Experience a workshop led by the BBC.

Hear from children and young people as well as educators about how the arts have supported and engaged them in education, and what they would like to see more of in schools.
