Hi, you can download the two documents from education.gov.uk here -
SEND 2011
The main points or categories are:
1. Early identification & assessment
2. Giving parents contriol
3. Learning & achieving
4. Preparing for adulthood
5. Services working together for families
The somewhat odd, 'easy read' version clarifies information.
If it helps there are article pages for each category here:
http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/...91/green-paper and about the changes or reform here -
SEN reform
There is insightful opinion to read on
Optimus-education.com and looks at features such as:
- The ending of School Action, School Action Plus, statements of SEN and IEPs
- New single assessment process and education, health and care plans implemented
- New funding process
- Existing SEN Code of practice to be updated
- Improved training
Catch-up on 4 months is a sizeable jump, best wishes with study, please post when needed xx
