Nursery World - Policy guide: Draft SEN Code of Practice

Jane Friswell, interim CEO of Nasen, outlines how the new document will change the way that SEN needs are met

The draft Code of Practice (along with draft regulations) was published on 4 October and is out for consultation until 9 December.

The document clearly and concisely sets out the statutory guidance for all those working with, and caring for, children and young people with special educational needs.
