The University of Birmingham Inclusion Research Conference is a premier academic gathering dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge research in the fields of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and social inclusion. Organized by the University’s Interdisciplinary Research Network, this event brings together scholarly excellence from three major colleges: Social Sciences, Medicine and Health, and Life and Environmental Sciences.
The conference serves as a critical platform for researchers, practitioners, and external partners to engage with evidence-based findings that shape the lives of children and young people with disabilities and their families. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to hear from renowned experts, including Amanda Allard, Director of the Council for Disabled Children, who will discuss the evolving landscape of inclusion policy. Other sessions will delve into health and nutrition in special schools, meaningful measurement of outcomes for children with intellectual disabilities, and the application of implementation science in educational settings.
Beyond the formal presentations, the event is designed to foster networking and collaboration within the Birmingham region and beyond. It aims to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application, ensuring that the latest scientific insights directly inform policy and practice. The day begins with a welcome address followed by high-impact 20-minute speaker sessions, each concluding with dedicated Q&A time to encourage rigorous academic dialogue. This conference is an essential date for anyone committed to advancing the frontier of inclusive education and healthcare.
