Whereas many of us graduated as Exeter
trainees inspired by the belief that we represented
a profession whose destiny was to
further school effectiveness and improvement
by applying the systems approach,
many years later Bob argued that EPs were
being marginalised from ‘this vitally important
area when they had so much of value to
offer’ (Burden, 1999, p.229), probably as a
result of the establishment of the Office for
Standards in Education (Ofsted) in 1992
and the resultant focus on school improvement
in local authority (LA) advisory and
inspection teams, coupled with increasing
demand for individual assessment through
the 1981 Education Act.
This paper describes an application of a
systems level approach to school improvement
and inclusion that owes its origin to the
cognitive orientation and aspirations
implanted by Bob Burden. It includes an
account of the application of a UK developed
intervention in public schools in New
South Wales, Australia (Clench & Smyth
King, 2014).
The problem
In 2000, the UK Government funded a
network of 13 Special Educational Needs
Regional Partnerships throughout England,
whose remit was to address what parents
perceived as inconsistent levels of service in
the 150 LAs in England, and to promote
greater consistency in services and provision
for children with special educational needs
(SEN) within their region. The model
followed was bottom-up, in which the LAs in
each region determined their own priorities
within a flexible framework defined by what
was then called the Department for
Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).
