The act will become statutory from September 2014 proposes some of the biggest changes to Special Educational Needs for many years.
The SEN team in school are keeping abreast of these proposed changes through a planned programme of training on behalf of Cheshire East LA, and this page will be updated with more detailed information as we recieve it.
In light of the proposed changes regarding the Special Needs Code of Practice, Cheshire East have been developing work around a "local offer". Further information about this can be found here:
