The NIACE Annual Disability Conference incorporating the 3rd Tomlinson Memorial Lecture
Monday 29 September 2008, 09:30am - 03:45pm
Thistle Marble Arch, Bryanston Street, Marble Arch, London W1H 7EH
Disability equality and improving life chances for disabled people is high on the government agenda at present. Enabling disabled people to lead fulfilling lives where they become active citizens in an inclusive society is essential and post 16 education is a vital ingredient in the mix.
The bonding agent is the cross government strategy, Progression through Partnership (HMSO, 2007), which sits within the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), Department of Health (DH) and Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This four-year strategy is being knitted into other government policies and strategies for example, Independent Living (ODI, 2008) and Valuing People Now (DH, 2007).
This year the NIACE Annual Disability Conference will focus on policy matters. There will be an address from the Government and the wide range of workshops will offer something of interest for everyone attending.
The LSC are undertaking a 'refresh' of the mental health strategy and the consultation document for the strategy will be launched at this conference. The strategy will sit alongside 'Progression through Partnership' and 'Learning for Living and Work', as well as other key government policies that promote social inclusion and employment for people who experience mental health problems.
This LSC funded conference will also incorporate the 3rd Tomlinson Memorial Lecture. Each year NIACE supports a lecture to celebrate the work of Professor John Tomlinson.
Professor Tomlinson chaired the committee of inquiry which resulted in the groundbreaking report, Inclusive Learning (HMSO, 1996). This year we are pleased to be partnered by the Disability Coalition. Professor Dylan Wiliam BSc, BA, MSc, PhD Deputy Director and Professor of Educational Assessment at the Institute of Education will deliver the lecture on 'Assessment for Learning; why it matters for all learners'.
