We are pleased to invite you to our online event on the impact of COVID-19 for children with special educational needs and disabilities and their families. The event will take place on Tuesday 24th May from 4pm.
 
The session will include talks discussing what research has under-covered so far on the topic, followed by panel discussion concerning next steps on how to best support children and families during the recovery phase from COVID-19. There will also be the opportunity to share your own experiences, helping us to develop evidence-based resources to support children and their families during the recovery phase from COVID-19 and in any related crisis in the future.
 
The event is free to attend but registration is essential. Register at: The impact of COVID-19 on children with SEND and their families Registration, Tue 24 May 2022 at 16:00 | Eventbrite

In this talk, guest speaker Professor Gavin Bridge from Durham University will discuss some of the emergent geographies of lithium-ion battery manufacturing to highlight a fundamental tension between globalising supply chains to reduce costs and the strategy of states (like the UK) to ‘onshore’ battery supply as part of industrial strategy.
