WHAT WILL BE YOUR PRIORITIES AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF NASEN?

It is an exciting time to join the charity as it starts to mark its 30th year. We want to make it a standout year in our UK and international work.

It is a challenging time for the workforce as we tackle the long-term impacts of the pandemic on our children and young people, which continues to disproportionately impact those with SEND and learning differences.

Looking outwards, acknowledging and responding to the long-awaited outcome of the SEND review will be crucial.

I will be meeting nasen’s members and advisory groups, as well as working closely with our trustee board. Connecting with key partners in the sector will be a focus for me.
