[senco-forum] Select Cttee Enquiry about SEN asst and funding.

Dear Colleagues,

http://www.parliament.uk/parliamentary_committees/education_and_skills_committee/espn170407.cfm

 Try this one.  If it comes up as split you'll have to add the 'split' bit manually. (I don't have a preview facility)

Tried this link a few times but couldn't get it to work at all ... even
with correct underscores! Even tried removing the r in "parliarment" but it
still didn't work.

Any ideas?

 Best wishes

PS  Apologies if you get another message from me with just  with half a
sentence in it.  My first attempt disappeared from the screen as I was
typing. Goodness knows what I pressed incorrectly.

>Dear Colleagues, 

In case you do not already know, the  House of Commons Education and Skills
 Select Committee are calling for submissions about the separation of
assessment of need from funding of provision. This is a follow-up to their
recent report and the government's response to it.  They want written
submissions by June 25th relating to 4 questions:

~ How might assessment of special educational needs be undertaken other
than by the relevant local authority without the establishment of a new
separate agency for the purpose?

~ How might local accountability for assessment be maintained if 
the local authority does not directly undertake the assessment?

~ What other issues need to be addressed in order to make the 
separation of assessment and provision effective?

~ What models from other countries could usefully be drawn on to 
demonstrate how separation of assessment and funding for special 
educational needs might be achieved?

Full details of the press notice are on the Cttee's website:
