Over recent months there has been much discussion on the Forum of Government and other announcements about the arrangements for carrying out special needs-related guidance during the coronavirus pandemic. For example, it has been important for SENCos to be informed about the relaxation of statutory procedures. In the previous column, a distinction was drawn between these attempts to ‘patch up’ existing policy and practice on the one hand, and, on the other hand, to consider the broader issue of the need to modify aspects of the existing education ‘system’ which might be engendering the need for ‘patching up’. More recently, however, there have been calls for this wider issue to be considered. Attempts to cope with the circumstances of the pandemic have questioned aspects of the ‘system’, and led to the exploration of what the ‘new normal’ might look like. So it seemed relevant in the present column briefly to address a few of these wider issues.

SENCo-Forum的观点

近几个月来，在政府论坛上进行了很多讨论，并在其他公告中对在冠状病毒大流行期间进行特殊需求相关指导的安排进行了讨论。例如，重要的是让SENCos了解放松法定程序的情况。在上一专栏中，一方面对“修补”现有政策和实践的尝试进行了区分，另一方面，考虑了需要修改现有教育“系统”各个方面的更广泛问题。 ”，因此可能需要“修补”。但是，最近有呼吁考虑这个更广泛的问题。试图应对大流行病的状况质疑了“系统”的各个方面，并导致探索“新常态”的外观。因此，在本专栏中简要解决一些更广泛的问题似乎很有意义。
