Abstract: | In this article Simon Ellis and Janet Tod review the KS3 National Strategy Behaviour and Attendance strand (DfES, 2003a; 2004a) and the Behaviour and Attendance pilot materials from the Primary National Strategy (DfES, 2003b; 2003c; 2003d). Relevant policy documentation is examined in order to explore how the role of the special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) can be interpreted in relation to these strategies. Issues for debate and the implications for emergent practice are highlighted by the authors. |
