2.  The code of practice became affective from the 1st
January 2002.
 Schools, early educational settings and those who
help them including health and social services have
been obliged to have regard to it.
 The code is designed to help these bodies to make
affective decisions regarding children with SEN.
The code of practice states….

3.  This code takes account of the SEN provisions of the special
educational needs and disability act:
 - a stronger right for children with SEN to be educated with
a mainstream school
 - new duties on LEAs to arrange for parents of children with
SEN to be provided with services offering advice and
information.
 - a new duty on schools and relevant nursery education
providers to tell parents when they are making special
educational provision to their child.

providers to request a statutory assessment of a child.

form of a game of make-belief. Students are asked to

name the class mate who would be the best
organiser.

often more self aware and know their capabilities.

in the identification process. This includes:

to organisations that work with groups from the
school.

identified by the educational physiology services.
