Therefore, we are talking about one SENO per thirty-something schools. It is not possible for one person to know all the children with additional needs in those schools. We need more SENOs, do we not? We need a lot more. Teachers and SNAs tell us that a SENO will come to the school on a rare occasion and sit in the room for perhaps an hour, might not even discuss the child with the SNA who is with that child all day or with the teacher in the classroom and will make a decision on whether that child needs SNA support. That needs to be reviewed.
