The PfA team delivered an online conference about employment opportunities for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) on 25 February 2021.
The aim of the conference was to showcase what a range of employers were doing during the COVID-19 pandemic and how they were creating opportunities for young people with SEND to get into paid work.
