Most courses use the Harvard style detailed on Cite Them Right. We've used the webpage format to reference this source:

Department for Education and Department of Health (2015) Special educational needs and disability code of practice: 0 to 25 years. Available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25 (Accessed: 25 March 2021). 

In text citation examples:

The Department for Education and the Department of Health (2015, p. 12) define a young person as "over compulsory school age and under 25".

The SEND Code of Practice sets out the principles, legislative background and processes in place to support young people with SEND (Department for Education and Department of Health, 2015).

  1. What would be the intext citation for this?

  2. As with the vast majority of references, the citation in your writing must use the same author(s) and year as in the full reference. That way your reader can connect your in text citation to the full reference, and then locate the same source for themselves. So depending on where you choose to place the citation in your writing (start or end of a sentence), in Harvard style you might do this:The Department for Education and the Department of Health (2015: p. 12) define a young person as "over compulsory school age and under 25".Or this: The SEND Code of Practice sets out the principles, legislative background and processes in place to support young people with SEND (Department for Education and Department of Health, 2015). These are just two examples. I've tried to offer a quotation example and summarising example here. However, where you place the citation in your sentences - whether you are quoting, paraphrasing or summarising - is really entirely up to you!
