Primary Schools, Parental Voice, SEN, Special Educational Needs, Partnership, Parent-School RelationshipsAbstract
This paper begins by outlining key themes in rights afforded to parents in primary education; these include information, choice, participation, assistance and due process. It then examines the position pertaining to parents of children with special educational needs (SEN) and uses the key themes to examine rights afforded to this cohort of parents. Specific articles of legislation are examined. The paper concludes by considering the extent to which rights afforded to parents of children with SEN enhance a partnership between parents and schools.
