Who is responsible
for ensuring that children's special education needs (SEN)
are met? |
 |
The school's Governing
Body has a legal duty to do their best to make sure that pupils
with SEN get what they need.
(Code of Practice of Special Educational Needs 1.16) |
|
The headteacher
is responsible for the day to day management of all areas
of the school's work. This includes support for children with
SEN. The headteacher will keep the Governing Body fully informed.
(Code of Practice of Special Educational Needs 1.39) |
|
The Local Authority shares
out money to schools so that they can support children with
SEN. The Local Authority also
helps schools through the support services (specialists from education and health) and has responsibility
for children with statements. |
