You have until 11.45pm to tell the government.....

[Guest guest]

......what you think about their Green Paper on SEN (special educational needs).

Since the paper is 200 pages long and I think would render the average reader

comatose I suggest visiting the IPSEA website

http://www.ipsea.org.uk/Apps/Content/News/?id=346

where they identify which questions they think are of most interest to parents

and give their comments. I printed out a copy of the IPSEA document and then

referred to it as I filled in the form (well, some of it) on-line. I suggest it

is worth doing - just so they hear from some individual parents and not just

from the usual suspects i.e. local authorities. IPSEA and other organisations

have already responded, including Ambitious About Autism (formerly known as

Treehouse)

Don't try filling in the IPSEA questionnaire - it's closed and they have already

put in their response to the government. - you need to go to this page

http://www.education.gov.uk/consultations/index.cfm?action=consultationDetails & c\

onsultationId=1748 & external=no & menu=1

There is a link on this page to the on-line questionnaire. You don't have to

answer every question or you would be there all night and there is an option for

your submission to be confidential - I chose not to exercise this option.

Best wishes,

Margaret
