[senco-forum] Setting up SEN dept

Hi All

  I've asked for help before and would like to thank everyone who replied.  I've just taken on acting SENco role after moving to England from Scotland. My dept has been allowed to run down and so I am trying to put systems in place to make it as efficient as possible. It is in a real mess just now - Annual reviews out of date etc
  Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated e.g training, pro formas, ideas for differentiation, contact with parents etc.

   I have 5 new TA's starting in Sept and I am trying to create a handbook to help them get started in SEN. Any ideas?

  Can anyone advise if toileting a child is part of a TA's duties?

  Grace
