children's special educational needs, and writing of statements of
SEN
- Representing the LA at SEN and Disability Tribunals
- Monitoring of provision for children with statements of SEN in
maintained schools and within the independent and non-maintained
sectors.
- Monitoring of provision for "Out-county" children with
statements of SEN in maintained schools and within the independent
and non-maintained sectors.
Another aspect of the team's work is the management and
development of special educational needs provision through
involvement in:
- Admissions to special schools, units and mainstream schools for
children with SEN.
- Liaison with Worcestershire Health Authority, Trusts, Social
Care and the voluntary sector.
