Education (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2009

I thank the noble Baroness for that clarification. I just want to make sure that we are all singing from the same hymn sheet: that we want to support SEN as best as we can, without taking teachers away from the classroom. The noble Baroness said that it would take 12 days outside the classroom. That does not really take into account the work that would be needed to be done outside the classroom and outside their other duties. Has she estimated what timeframe will be needed? I know that she is saying that it is over a three-year period, but I am still slightly worried that it will be an extra burden for SENCOs to deliver that in the way that the Government expect. As I said, I shall read carefully what the Minister has said. Motion withdrawn.
