Is Wales now under its own different SEN law now Jean? Or is this a 'jumping the gun' introduction of the new Welsh non-statementing system??

Ceredigion has currently SA SA+ SA++ ( enhanced ) and is about to have  another tier SA+++    For SA++ county does stipulate the equivalent of 1/2 hour a day (5 hours a  fortnight for those of you mathematically challenged) in groups of no more  than 4 -but as you'll know in secondary its how the timetable falls so may  well be larger mixed age as well as stage of learning groups and other  lessons have only 2  whilst the unfavourable timetable leaves us scratching  around to put another pupil or so in    Barbara ht    -----Original Message-----  From: senco-forum-bounces at lists.becta.org.uk  [mailto:senco-forum-bounces at lists.becta.org.uk] On Behalf Of Jean Dowding  Sent: 09 February 2008 12:55  To: Janrolnick at aol.com  Cc: senco-forum at lists.becta.org.uk  Subject: Re: [senco-forum] (no subject)    This seems to me to have been dreamt up by the LA concerned.  There is no  mention in the CoP about time allocation and the LA I worked for only  stipulated support time in Statements.  It was up to an individual school to  offer the support for SA and SA+ according to need and resources.    But then, I have heard of LAs who have invented a stage between SA+ and  statementing (has various names, from SA++ to SA+ Extra), presumably to  avoid statementing, which requires them to provide something that is legally  binding.
