[senco-forum] Disability Equality Scheme

Basically -
Do not do it -
It is not good  practice for one person to do it -
Also, parents and pupils have to be involved!
Not to mention Governors -
If the Govs have a committee set up - use them!

Hi all

In September last year, I was asked by my Head to draw up
the school's DES on my own. She said it made sense for me to
do it as I am the Physical Disability Opportunity Base
Manager at our primary school. I asked for a committee to be
appointed to work with me, and asked for this again when I
had to present what I've done so far to the Governors' SEN
Committee last week. Again I was told to do it alone. Is
there anyone else who is doing this individually? Do I have
a leg to stand on, asking for a committee or working party
to work on it with me? I know it's overdue, but I found it
hard to get started initially. I'm still not doing very well
with it. I get 1 hour a week timetabled in to work on it.
Thanks for your input.

Tracy
