[senco-forum] SENCos not on SLT

I am very surprised too.  I responded briefly last weekend but didn't get to it in the week.

  I am now part of SLT and I feel that I have been able to make much more of a contribution than my line manager could because he often had to get back to me to ask for more information.  I am going to respond to the consultation by saying I think the SENCO should be part of SLT.

  I am concerned about some of the other proposals too.

I was very surprised to see there were not more emails about these 
regulations. Klaus Wedell brought it to our attention a few days ago.

Are SENCos generally happy that it is no longer thought necessary for them 
to be on the SLT. Is the feeling that a 'champion' will be sufficient?
