The SEN Code of Practice: Is it User‐Friendly?

Tony Bowers, David Wilkinson

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The 1997 Green Paper (DfEE, 1997) refers to a new ‘Code of Practice’ to ‘be in place by the year 2002’. The present Code contains both principles and procedures, which LEAs and schools are expected to apply, and against which agencies will measure their performance. Yet how user‐friendly are they? In this article, a shortened version of a paper prepared as part of a National Research Project, Tony Bowers and David Wilkinson (from the School of Education, The University of Cambridge) consider evidence from past writings and research.
