Reviews

Beate uses the changes in the SEND Code of Practice to explore a range of topics in this book. It contains useful information about the history of SEND policy and legislation and its implications, the impact of changes to the policies for professional practice, and the dilemmas of partnership working with the family, the child and other professionals. This will be a good resource book for anyone who is interested in the relationship between policy development and professional practice. There are a number of signposts for further reading and resources which will be particularly helpful for students pursuing these topics. -- Prithvi Perepa This book helps school leaders to understand their responsibilities as stated in the SEND Code of Practice, and also challenges them to think about the controversies they could face in its implementation. Issues rarely focused on in books for practitioners, such as professionalism, ethics and moral dilemmas, are explored. -- Sue Soan This is a very welcome book that seeks to broaden and deepen understanding of the SEND Code of Practice as well as enabling readers to challenge it. It involves a novel in-depth historical and policy analysis and deserves a wide readership. -- Brahm Norwich
