ABSTRACT
Within the government’s Green Paper (CfEE 1997) and subsequent booklet Meeting Special Educational Needs: A Programme of Action (DfEE 1999), IEPs came under consideration for their effectiveness. In Section 2 (Improving the SEN Framework), the concerns about them were highlighted by the following statement:
Too often schools focus on the paperwork associated with the Code of Practice – especially in relation to IEPs and annual reviews – at the expense of providing practical support for children with SEN. We want to correct this imbalance. (DfEE 1999: 2:5)
