Supporting the voluntary and community sector

As part of our work as Strategic Partner for SEN and Disability to the Department for Education CDC is working to support the development of capacity building across the Voluntary and Community Sector. 

This includes supporting our members through providing the access to specialist expertise from the staff team and wider sector; regular seminars looking at key capacity issues such as social investment funding and promoting joint working between SEND pathfinder and non pathfinder areas.
