From Policy to Practice: How TACPAC Supports the 2026 SEND Reforms

The 2026 SEND reforms will bring significant changes for schools, colleges, and specialist settings across England. With a renewed focus on inclusion, early intervention, Individual Support Plans, and workforce development.

Many practitioners are asking the same question:

How do we turn these policy changes into meaningful day‑to‑day practice?

This upcoming webinar, From Policy to Practice: How TACPAC Supports the 2026 SEND Reforms, is designed to answer exactly that question.

The latest reforms place a clear expectation on settings to remove barriers to learning within mainstream and specialist environments alike. There is a stronger emphasis on:

Inclusive practice in all settings
A clearly defined Graduated Approach to support
The introduction of Individual Support Plans focused on real, observable practice
Early intervention to prevent escalation of needs
Ongoing training and development for the entire workforce

While these principles are widely welcomed, implementing them consistently—especially can feel overwhelming.

This webinar provides clarity, reassurance, and practical solutions.

What is TACPAC—and why does it matter now?

TACPAC is a structured, evidence‑informed sensory communication approach that uses touch, music, and shared interaction to build connection, engagement, and communication. It is particularly effective for children and young people with needs associated with:

Sensory processing,
Emotional regulation,
Communication,
Cognitive function,
Sensory impairment,
Mental health,
Attachment.

Rather than being an “extra” intervention, TACPAC supports communication and regulation at the most fundamental level—creating the conditions in which learning and relationships can flourish

In this Webinar participants will:

Gain a clear overview of how TACPAC aligns directly with statutory requirements.

I found the training was delivered well and matched my school’s cohort very well. It was thought provoking and gave me many ideas on how this can be rolled out and introduced. It also enabled me to get a clearer idea around the intent and the purpose of TAC PAC as a communication strategy and how this can be explained to outside agencies such as ofsted.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole training day from start to finish. Vanessa was an amazing instructor and pitched the course well with both theory and practical. She was extremely helpful in answering questions relating to my context and I can’t thank her enough. I feel confident in taking this intervention forward in my class of complex P1 learners.

Charlotte Johnstone Teacher Park School

It was really informative. I would encourage parents and other professional to go through Tac Pac training. Found it really innovative. Most surprising fact that it can be done with household simple stuff and doesn’t need to be expensive, very much handy and easy to use for parents/other caregiver and professionals.

Online Training Delegate,

The learning of the importance of the beat and uncovering some of the myths that we had previously been doing in our school so now they can be corrected. I feel I can relay the appropriate content learnt to other staff within my setting now.

Eimear Corrigan, Teacher,, Palmerstone School, Liverpool

I have been working with children with special needs for the past seven years. I have been amazed at the transformation in children who have been exposed to Tacpac. As there are no trainers that I know of in the Perth area, I am interested in becoming a trainer to enable more children to reap the benefits of this wonderful program.

SEN teacher

Hilary, You have given much joy to many with your creation of Tacpac. You really have made a difference to the lives of many children and their families.

Sue Murray,BLENNZ School, New Zealand

Well delivered. I like that even though this training was virtual it still felt very interactive and a safe place to ask questions and have discussions. I do feel like I have the knowledge and skills to begin TACPAC ‘properly’ now (or at least after a few more practice sessions on my niece). Thank you very much.

Emily Parham, Speech & Language Therapist, OXLEAS

The activities were brilliant for being able to practise the movements to the music in a supportive environment. There was no part of the course that I didn’t enjoy and from which I didn’t learn. Although I have used TACPAC before, I hadn’t considered the importance of unknown music without any connotations attached to it for the receiver. This now makes perfect sense and was a revelation!

Ashley Chambers, Portage Practitioner, Kent

Great working with you all

Dom Knight, Oxfordshire Web Services

I messaged my manager during the break to tell her how amazing the training course is; I didn’t expect it to go into as much detail as it did. I liked how the course went into detail about the function of the Limbic System in relation to behaviour and response. I now want to do more research into the physiological aspects of behaviour in Autism to work on positive behaviour support within our homes
