In light of current developments, this resource sets out the government's fresh agenda for whole school discussion and helps SENCOs in mainstream or special schools at every stage to manage changes in SEND policy and practice.

Lots of examples and illustrations to dip into, adapt, adopt or just inform. Just what a new Senco needs, hopefully! 14 Aug. 2014great for senco course 21 Aug. 2014Easy to Read book very informative great for my level 3 SEN course Excellent book for any classroom teacher working with children with special educational needs. 16 July 2014Brilliant and written in layman's terms too. 'This is not a book we recommend for SENCO accreditation as it doesn't have the depth evidence of research needed for Master levels BUT a number of our SENCOs have stated that it is a useful starter book when they first come into role.' - Alison Goddard, Programme Leader for SENCO Accreditation and Coordinator of SEN across teaching programmes -undergraduate & PGCE.'My overall assessment of the current edition of the book is that it is still the best 'all round' guide for SENCOs on the market. It has a good balance of breadth and depth of information and is easily accessible for SENCOs to either read at length or to 'dip into' on specific topics. I feel that it is still very much needed as many new SENCOs I encounter in my work are desperate for basic guidance on the requirements of the role, and this is the book that I recommend to them.' - 'When this book was first published I read and used it personally a lot. My copy was lent out and not returned, which I think may be read as a testament to how valuable this book is! However, I have always recommended it to new SENCOs who have come to me for advice in the two local authorities I have worked in since 2011.
