Practical support for safer, more inclusive schools and trusts

Meet Tes at the CST SEND and Inclusion Conference

Join Tes at the CST SEND and Inclusion Conference 2026 on 6 May 2026 at the Eastside Rooms, Birmingham. The conference is centered on this year’s theme, “Vision to practice: Leading inclusive trusts”, and brings together trust leaders, practitioners and sector experts to explore how schools and trusts can secure a good education for every child, whatever their needs.

Tes will be there to help trust and school leaders strengthen inclusion, improve safeguarding oversight, support staff development and reduce operational pressure across their settings. From Tes Provision Map and Tes MyConcern to Tes Develop, Tes Institute and Tes Resources, we help schools and trusts build stronger foundations for every child.

Why meet Tes at the CST SEND and Inclusion Conference?

CST positions this event around the strategic issues that matter most in SEND and inclusion, making it a strong opportunity to speak to Tes about how your trust or school can create more joined-up support for pupils, staff and leaders. The programme includes registration, networking and exhibition time, plus a main programme and workshops focused on inclusion leadership in trusts.


Meet Tes if you want to:

  • Improve SEND oversight and provision

    Explore how Tes Provision Map can support schools with clearer provision planning, reduced admin and stronger visibility across SEND practice. Built for SENCOs, our provision mapping software makes reporting, planning and integration simpler and faster.

  • Strengthen safeguarding and pupil support

    See how Tes MyConcern helps schools improve case management, reporting and wider visibility across safeguarding and student welfare. Tes MyConcern simplifies record-keeping and case management for student concerns and staff allegations, and supports anonymous reporting.

  • Support teachers to deliver more inclusive practice

    Talk to us about how Tes Develop, Tes Institute and Tes Resources can help staff respond more confidently to a wider range of pupil needs through CPD, teacher development and classroom-ready support. We position our training offer around whole-school professional development and teacher growth.

  • Build a stronger trust-wide approach

    Discuss how Tes can help leaders connect inclusion, safeguarding, teacher development and classroom support across multiple schools, with solutions spanning Tes Provision Map, Tes MyConcern, Tes Develop, Tes Institute and Tes Resources. CST’s conference positioning is explicitly trust-focused, so a joined-up trust-wide message is a strong fit here.

Why Tes?

Tes supports schools and trusts across some of the biggest pressures leaders face today: pupil safety, inclusion, workforce development and day-to-day school effectiveness. Rather than approaching SEND and inclusion in isolation, we can support a broader strategy through products such as Tes Provision Map, Tes MyConcern, Tes Develop, Tes Institute and Tes Resources.

That makes the CST SEND and Inclusion Conference a strong opportunity to discuss not just one product, but the wider support your organisation's needs to lead inclusive practice more effectively. CST’s event focuses on leading inclusive trusts and securing a good education for every child, whatever their needs.
