SEN reform – is it all clear?

Since the coalition government came into power, the DfE has generally stood by its commitment to cut down on documentation. However, what we have seen is the shearing away of ‘extra’ from documents and guidance already in existence. We have seen little that has been released as completely new material to reflect the new approach to brevity, succinctness and clarity. Perhaps that’s why the new SEND code of practice is such a disappointment.
