A Guide to Best Practice in Special Education, Health and Social Care
explores and explains the changes in governmental policies across the
education, health and social care services, and what they mean for young
individuals, parents and professionals.
In a period of significant change, many practitioners need to understand
the government's plans for bringing about a more efficient, effective
and sustainable system to meet the needs of young people and their
families. Without trawling through reviews, green papers, white papers
and bills, this book not only explains the significance of recent
events, but provides practical examples, in the form of conversations
and case studies, about how parents and professionals are making change
happen. With decades of experience, Rona Tutt and Paul Williams delve
deep into the separate origins of the three strands - the SEND Review,
the review of children's social care, and the Health and Care Act 2022.
The book explores how pupils in different types of schools can have
their needs met more effectively; how to make better use of available
resources; and how to create a culture of mutual respect across all the
three services.
A Guide to Best Practice in Special Education, Health and Social Care
not only fills in gaps in readers' knowledge about the working of all
three services, but provides innovative examples of how change is
happening at ground level. People of all age groups working in schools
and seeking to enhance their knowledge will find it to be an essential
read. It will also be of interest to parents and professionals from
across health and social care.
