Wherever possible, we continue to report on research into the roles of special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs). Here Chris Derrington describes how twenty schools responded to the Code of Practice requirements. This adds to the growing body of information in this area and highlights vast differences in attitude and provision that exist. Clearly, it is an unhappy situation that SENCOs do not all experience the same level of support and resourcing. Both government and local authorities desperately need to review this situation.
