Description

In the context of social inclusion, the field of special educational needs is of growing importance. Based on comparisons of Special Educational Needs (SEN) frameworks in Scotland and England, Sheila Riddell questions how justice for children with SEN and their parents may be achieved. Questions are raised about the nature of school inclusion, its relationship with social inclusion more widely and the compatibility of the raising standards and social inclusion agendas. Finally the provisions and implications of new legislation prohibiting discrimination against disabled children in schools are discussed. The central contention of the author is that improving educational provision for children with SEN is likely to lead to better provision for all.
