Book Review of Special Educations Needs: Getting Started with Statements

"This is a brilliant little book. We are just starting on the statementing process and it’s a bit depressing to find that it’s such a battle, but it is refreshing to get an honest and real account of what happens. I really liked the detail on the process – for example, I hadn’t realised that you don’t have to stick to the form to give your evidence, but can write your own account. It was really useful to have all the detail and being able to read extracts from other people’s statements is invaluable.It shows you how to use the SEN Code of Practice – I haven’t seen any other examples of this. Because it’s written by parents for parents, it can give you information you don’t get on official we sites. I found it quick and easy to read and easy to dip into when you’re waiting at school for example."

A huge thank you to Emma for taking the time to write the review and I hope very much the book has helped you so far. If anyone else has found the book useful and would like to leave a review, I would be delighted if you would post it on the Amazon book page
