[senco-forum] acronyms

LDD is now, unfortunately, becoming well known due to the use it is given by Ofsted, CPA Inspectors (they're the ones that give your council their star ratings and no I have no idea what CPA stands for) and the famous Joint Area Review Inspectors (JAR)
  We've recently been inspected by all 3 in one month where I work.  Our problem was defining what LDD actually stood for.  We have a large children's centre, portage on site and one of the LEA's nurture groups which includes children with behaviour difficulties.  Trying to work out whether LDD covered behaviour or not was a work of art.  To be fair the Inspectors were not ultra clear either so looked at us anyway (but it was very brief)
  We are now trying to ascertain if LDD does include behaviour.  As it stands for Learning Difficulty and Disability it could go either way.  All I know is, it still won't change the strategies I use with them so I'll let the arguement rage on and eat my Easter Egg
  Happy easter everyone
