How
To Get The Education Your Child Deserves:
What Every Parent
Should Know & Do
For SEN & Disability Discrimination In School!
Tried
& Tested Methods - Revealed Inside The Practical, Easy To Use, Step By Step
Parent's Guide to Special Educational Needs, Disability Discrimination & The
SEN Code of Practice
FAO All Parents, Grandparents
& Carers Concerned About Special Needs, Learning Difficulties, Disability,
The SEN Code of Practice Or Their Child's Progress In School:
As you may know, changes
to the definition of SEN Provision and to the definition of Disability in the
new Disability Discrimination Act - made recently by the government - have placed
increased responsibilities upon Schools and Local Authorities to correctly
implement the SEN Code of Practice and to provide progress in learning for each
and every pupil in their care...
...this means that all pupils
with Special Educational Needs, learning difficulties or any other disability
now have a legal right to have their needs met.
You may also have discovered
- especially if your child is experiencing challenges in reading, writing, spelling
or mathematics - that it can be a long and frustrating struggle to get the additional
provision (teaching, equipment, learning support etc.) your child needs to make
progress... even if your child has already been placed on their School's Register
of Children with Special Needs.
An
Opportunity to Benefit From an Acknowledged Expert's Experience in SEN & Disability
Discrimination - Discover How To Ensure Your Child Gets the Teaching & Schooling
They Are Legally Entitled To
Written by Roger Baker,
a leading SEN, Disability and Disability Discrimination expert (and an experienced
professional SEN Inspections Contractor), the Parent's Guide to SEN & Disability
Discrimination in School is designed to be a straightforward introduction
to the Special Educational Needs (or SEN) Code of Practice... covering SEN, Disability,
Disability Discrimination, Statutory Assessments, 'Statements of Special Educational
Needs' and more... for all parents with children in school.
By clearly explaining the
system and the steps and processes schools and parents should follow - both before
and after your child is placed onto a School's Register of pupils with Special
Educational Needs - this new Parent's Guide to SEN can help all
parents to fully understand:
 What to do when
first you notice some concerns about your child's learning progress - why you
must speak to your child's class teacher without delay... and why you must keep
careful records of this and every other contact you make with your school,
your LEA (Local Education Authority) etc.
Why schools
must have a member of staff (commonly called a SEN Co-ordinator or SENCO) with
responsibility for Special Needs and Disability - and when to ask for the SENCO
by name
The Legal framework related to SEN, Disability and Disability Discrimination -
including the 'technical' definitions used for Learning Difficulties, Disability
and Special Educational Provision
The contents
of the SEN Code of Practice and what this Code provides for children experiencing
any challenges with learning - how schools must follow the statutory guidance
it sets out
How the SEN
Code of Practice is organised, by age - all children registered in school are
always covered and protected by this detailed Code of Practice
The 'partnership
with parents' the SEN Code of Practice demands - now all schools must inform parents
if they provide any special teaching provision for any child
When and why
schools will place a child on their SEN Register - the simple question schools
must ask before doing so and the steps that must then follow
The difference
between normal provision and 'additional provision' - why schools should tell
parents what additional learning support, teaching and/or equipment they can offer
for their child
The importance
of Individual Education Plans and regular reviews of progress - how to ensure
the correct next stage of the SEN Code of Practice is followed and within the
correct timescale
When a Statutory
Assessment will be triggered and why Statutory Assessment is the essential first
step towards getting a Statement of SEN for your child
And, most important
of all:
What to do when all else fails - how to succeed in the step by step
process of gaining your child a Statement of Special Educational Needs... including
details of the paperwork and timescales involved
How a Statement
of SEN legally requires the LEA and schools to make extra fully
funded and protected provision, support and schooling available to
your child - which they cannot simply stop providing later
The Key to Success
for Statutory Assessments - when exactly you should obtain expert, professional
help and how to avoid the most common, fatal mistake
many parents make... before they have even started the Statutory Assessment process!
Why the Local
Authority (or LEA) may battle tooth and nail to resist the assessment process
and awarding a Statement of SEN at all costs...
...and how
to defeat the (often highly questionable) barriers they may place before
you, to prevent you from ever obtaining one for your child
Including:
How to fight
back to win... e.g. when to appeal to SENDIST (the Special Educational Needs &
Disability Tribunal)... together with the simple yet powerful steps you can take
to demand the provision your child is legally entitled to!
Gain
Important Insights Into The SEN Code of Practice & Detailed Knowledge of Every
Key Aspect of SEN, Disability & Disability Discrimination... Learn the Essential
Facts All Parents Ought To Know
Your Parent's Guide to
SEN is based around a clear and detailed description of what to do to ensure
that your school and LEA provides the correct additional teaching, provision
and schooling required for your child... with reference to the relevant
law, legal framework and Acts.
Besides giving essential
background information and practical, expert knowledge on the SEN Code of Practice,
Special Needs and Disability, inside your guide you will find the specific action
you should take if your child fails to make progress in school, seems to be having
difficulty learning, or - most importantly and sadly all too commonly -
is being refused teaching provision or is being refused a Statutory Assessment
for a Statement of Special Educational Needs.
In fact, when all other
reasonable and purposeful measures have failed, gaining a Statement of Special
Educational Needs is often the most important step in obtaining
the protected educational provision children with special needs are legally entitled
to: it can also prove to be the hardest obstacle parents must overcome.
Purpose-designed with this
in mind, the Parent's Guide to SEN provides comprehensive coverage of
everything parents need to know about how to successfully navigate the 'system'
and the legal framework in place for children with Special Educational Needs,
Learning Difficulties or Disability.
