This book investigates the evolving landscape of special educational needs (SEN) provision and the subsequent impact on the professional responsibilities of Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs). Alison Ekins draws upon her extensive experience in teacher education and policy analysis to examine how shifting legislative frameworks and school-level demands alter the daily practice of inclusive education. The text provides a critical framework for understanding the intersection of policy, leadership, and classroom support in contemporary school environments.

Experts in educational leadership identify this work as a practical resource for practitioners navigating the complexities of modern inclusive schooling. Readers frequently note the balance between theoretical policy analysis and the pragmatic challenges faced by school staff in their daily operations.
