7 Working together

The Government, LEAs, other local agencies and business need to work together in supporting the education of children with SEN. Their contributions need to be developed, improved and co-ordinated to achieve our aims of raising standards, shifting resources to practical support and increasing inclusion.

SUMMARY

By 2002...

There will be new arrangements for disseminating up-to-date information about good practice in SEN provision.
There will be improved co-operation and co-ordination between local education authorities, social services departments and health authorities, with the focus on meeting children's special needs more effectively.
Speech and language therapy will be provided more effectively for children who need it.
The Department will be collecting information about the experiences, once they have left school, of young people with SEN, to help schools and colleges prepare young people for adult life more effectively.
