welcome to the em regional hub websiteabout us Leicestershire is pleased to host the new hub in the East Midlands region. For any queries on any aspects of the Hub's activities, please contact Pat Bullen, Facilitator of the Regional Hub of Effective Practice in SEN/LDD on 07702 358506 or by email on pbullen@leics.gov.uk .

Local Authority hubs of effective practice in Special Educational Needs/Learning Difficulties & Disability were introduced as part of the 07/08 National Strategies SEN programme to disseminate best practice between LAs.

Feedback received from the LAs that participated was very positive with indications that the programme had already helped local development and practice. The 08/10 programme has been informed by that work and has been significantly developed. Key changes include:
