Successful Strategies for Partnership Working

'It is a must-have for all those who wish to know more about how the education sector has and continues to change to meet the increasingly complex needs and challenges to help all children get the best education that's relevant and right for them' - Educate, Robert Keatley

'This should be compulsory reading for all who aspire to school leadership - it is written in clear, no nonsense English and is 100% accessible. Rona gives a clear overview, with case studies, of ways in which Education can be improved and made more accessible to children and young people with SEND. As an exercise in debunking fears and advocating progressive, development partnership working, the book is a pleasure to read. By bringing the work bang up to date, and even handedly dealing with all forms and types of school, Rona makes her book valuable to anyone in education' - Andy Lister; Director, SENtral Consultants Ltd.

'This concise and practical book encourages professionals to reflect on how partnership working can enrich the lives of children and young people who have special educational needs and disabilities' - Toby Salt, Deputy Chief Executive of the National College for Leadership of Schools and Children's Services and author of the Salt Review (into the supply of teachers for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties)
