Considered a ‘must-attend’ event for those working in public, private and third sector organisations, the conference aims to provide a range of ideas for innovative and impactful practices which can then be taken away and applied in settings across the nation to help make a difference to pupils.
Derren Hayes, Editor at CYP Now, said: “Engaging in education is crucial for children’s life chances and their prospects of a healthy and prosperous adulthood. Yet since the pandemic the numbers of children not in school and disengaged from learning have spiralled. This conference will explore the factors driving this trend and share best practice on strategies and approaches to tackling it.”
With pupil exclusion rates hitting the headlines almost daily, this one-day conference seeks to discuss the new government’s drive to tackle this pressing issue by boosting school attendance and improving outcomes for vulnerable children.

“In our 25-year history, we have never excluded a single pupil, proving that with the right care and encouragement, every child can reach their potential. We have watched how young people who were once deemed "unteachable" go on to achieve incredible things, evolving fully from social isolation to independence and I very much look forward to the discussions with others at the CYP Now ‘Lost Learning’ conference.”
From discussions on why permanent exclusions should be banned by 2026 to insights on how to boost attendance and learnings from expert speakers, attending The Preventing 'Lost Learning' Conference provides the chance to hear from the experts, enabling attendees to go back and make a lasting impact in their school or organization.
