Creative, inclusive music groups for children and young people with Special Educational Needs/Disabilities (SEND)
A key strand of our programme was the growth and development of a regional structure of inclusive ensembles – creative music groups for children and young people with Special Educational Needs/Disabilities (SEND).
Of course, there is no one way to achieve this and within each locality we developed different models that responded to the needs of local young people and built on the strengths and experiences of our music leader teams. Here you can find out more about the approaches taken and inclusive ensemble models developed through the OFM programme
