Is there a real understanding of the difference in SEND and Disadvantage in schools?

Bill will be introducing a model to reflect and evaluate the underpinning ethos, vision and attitudes in schools towards disadvantaged learners and the effectiveness of the systems and strategies that are in place. He will explore and challenge the relationship between DL and SEND pupils and the implications for schools.
