This updated third edition aims to support primary and secondary school Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators in defining and developing their considerable responsibilities. By examining key elements of the whole-school SEN policy with the TTA National Standards for Special Needs Co-ordinators, the author provides advice about all aspects of a SENCO's role. This edition has new material arising both from the author's experience running a consortium for SENCO training courses and from new government documentation including the revised National Curriculum. Topics include: roles and responsibilities for SEN within a whole-school policy; individual educational planning; differentiating the curriculum - key issues for key stages; managing effective support; working with multi-professional networks; managing paperwork and procedures; and working towards inclusive practice.
