In order to achieve the best outcomes for all children and young people, schools must work in partnership with students, parents, other professionals and the wider community. In this changing landscape of education, the notion of the traditional school is fast disappearing. This book looks at what is possible in this exciting new world, and how some teachers and other professionals are putting into practice the best principles of multi-agency working.

Finding innovative ways of supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in this context is more important than ever, as children are being diagnosed with increasingly complex needs. Those working with children need to be aware of the fresh opportunities that are opening up and which can help every individual to maximise their full potential.

This book examines how partnership working affects children with SEND by considering:

- the diversity of additional needs;

- the role of specialist schools that have an SEN specialism;

- partnership working between mainstream and special schools;

- partnership working with groups of schools, including those that are co-located or federated;

- the growth of academies and trust schools;

- schools and other services working together;

- the work of extended schools and children's centres;

- a wide range of other services for children, young people and families.

Filled with case studies of effective practice from real schools and services, this book is a must-have for those looking at how to work together to achieve positive outcomes for all.

Industry Reviews

'It is a must-have for all those who wish to know more about how the education sector has and continues to change to meet the increasingly complex needs and challenges to help all children get the best education that's relevant and right for them' - Educate, Robert Keatley 'This should be compulsory reading for all who aspire to school leadership - it is written in clear, no nonsense English and is 100% accessible. Rona gives a clear overview, with case studies, of ways in which Education can be improved and made more accessible to children and young people with SEND. As an exercise in debunking fears and advocating progressive, development partnership working, the book is a pleasure to read. By bringing the work bang up to date, and even handedly dealing with all forms and types of school, Rona makes her book valuable to anyone in education' - Andy Lister; Director, SENtral Consultants Ltd. 'This concise and practical book encourages professionals to reflect on how partnership working can enrich the lives of children and young people who have special educational needs and disabilities' - Toby Salt, Deputy Chief Executive of the National College for Leadership of Schools and Children's Services and author of the Salt Review (into the supply of teachers for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties)
