ABSTRACT
This handbook is a revision of the guidance produced in 1995 when the original 1994 Code of Practice came into force (Ramjhun 1995). It summarises the key changes that have been made to this Code, including my interpretations and reflections where appropriate. I was a member of the group convened under the auspices of NAGSEN, the National Advisory Group on Special Educational Needs, to assist in this revision. This sub-group represented a wide range of interests, from parents to specialist interest groups and LEA officer representatives. This enabled wide-ranging discussion of issues with a common and shared objective of furthering the interests of children experiencing difficulties in learning.
