Special Edition - 2 November 2022
At our Autumn Briefing, DSLS is delighted to welcome Diane Rochford OBE. Diane has gained extensive senior management experience across complex needs settings, schools, and Trusts. Until Dec 2019 she worked in a mixed Multi Academy Trust in London as an Executive Headteacher of a complex Special needs school. Her current work includes School Improvement for different Local Authorities and schools focusing on Send practice and strategy. Additionally, she has worked with the DfE advising on statutory assessment for those children with SEND who have both additional and complex needs. As Chair of the Rochford Review in 2016-20 the group considered and defined statutory assessment for pupils working below the standard of the statutory test resulting in the Pre-Key Stage standards and The Engagement model.
