Special educational needs: A mainstream issue

Despite the significant number involved, children with SEN have remained a low profile group. A new report from the Audit Commission - Special educational needs: a mainstream issue - looks at how well they are served by the education system and makes wide-ranging recommendations to schools, LEAs, health and social services and national policy-makers.

You can download copies of the report or the summary briefing, or visit their website.

To purchase the report, please call Audit Commission Publications on 0800 502030. A special price of £10 (down from £25) is being offered to schools, local voluntary organisations and parents of children with SEN.
