Phyllis Jones, Senior Lecturer (Special Educational Needs), and John Swain, Reader in Disability Studies, at the University of Northumbria, report on the first stage of a qualitative investigation into participants’ views of, and feelings about, Annual Reviews. Although this article was submitted before the publication of Special Educational Needs: Consultation Document on the Proposed Revision of the SEN Code of Practice (DfEE, 1999), both highlight the need ‘to reduce the paperwork required of schools and of LEAs in relation to annual reviews’ (p.4). The Document does not envisage any fundamental change to the current regulatory framework for Annual Reviews but this small‐scale study highlights the pressing need for organisationalreform.
