Education, Disability and Social Policy

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is a powerful contribution to the literature on education, disability and social policy in the UK, of interest to practitioners, experts, and parents alike." Patrick Diamond, Senior Research Fellow, Policy Network "This book builds on a first edition to give a welcome updated overview of educational provision for children and young people with SEN/disabilities. It is timely given the increasing barriers to providing a more inclusive education in the current challenging policy and funding context." Brahm Norwich, University of Exeter "This book seeks to identify and analyse a range of significant issues and questions concerning the position and experiences of disabled people in education and society generally. It highlights some of the complex, contentious and contradictory ideas and practices that are currently integral to the system of policy and provision within education and society generally. It contains a wealth of ideas, insights and questions and should be of interest to all those concerned with the well-being of all learners." Len Barton, Executive Director of IDRIS, Emeritus Professor of Inclusive Education, University of London. "The emphasis on including all children and for joined-up thinking makes this book an important contribution to understanding current challenges and potential solutions. School leaders will find the analysis compelling and the guidance practically useful." Jane Farrell, Mulberry Schools Trust





"This new edition could not have come at a better time, as England finally begins to reckon with its rapidly imploding SEND system. By bringing together some of the most experienced and knowledgeable voices in the sector, it weaves together the historic with the contemporary, and the practical with the theoretical, providing an invaluable perspective on where our education system - and society more broadly - might go next." Loic Menzies, Centre for Education Systems
