[senco-forum] Calling in EP's

We have about 350 pupils and 2 trained SpLD teachers and 2 further

In Wales CPD is no problem; in fact it is actively encouraged by the Welsh
Assembly Government through a system of bursaries from the General
Teaching Council for Wales, for individuals and networks/groups.  I
applied for and got individual busaries on three separate occasions in the
five years or so before I retired, mostly covering supply, but course fees
are also possible.  I assume that Scotland has similar arrangements?

Jean

It cannot just be an Indie school thing ... can it??
