I would love to see SENCOs and other professionals  stop covering for those
that do this, because they are ACCOUNTABLE too.  Hiding behind being
stressed, busy, not trained in SEN etc. is a poor excuse  when a child's
education is in the toilet.

Really?

If we SENCO's did that what do you surpose would happen?

In a very short time the Head would be inundated with complaints that the
school was failing to meet their child's needs (probably supported by Parent
Partnership and other charitable organisations).  The SENCO would be
required to answer for the lack of support - not the class teacher as it is
our responsibility to co-ordinate SEN provision.  Most importantly the child
would suffer for the lack of support, differentiation etc.

No i'm not suggesting we do nothing - but we've been banging our heads
against this particular brick wall for many many years.  And at the end of
the day they are our colleagues and we have to work with them for years to
come.  Change does not come easily or quickly.
