[senco-forum] statemented children and SENCO involvement

Much the same for me Amanda.  I have input when I need to but wouldn't
attend a re-admission meeting unless I felt I needed to.

Hi Janice

  I don't think you have to be.  I would expect to go to a full Pastoral
Support Plan Meeting of a pupil with a Statement but not to the readmiting
meeting unless there was a good reason to go.  The last one I went to was
because the Head needed a witness that the father would find non-threatening
as he had already confronted one of the Deputies!

  Our school almost always readmits pupils to the Learning and Behaviour
Unit where the pupil is in isolation for at least one day.  The staff there
work on a behaviour contract with the pupil.  I'd put in my twopennorth if I
wanted to.
