Disability: social aspects; Inclusive education & mainstreaming; Teaching of special educational needs

Educational opportunities for disabled children remain a vital contemporary issue in British social policy. This new edition of the milestone book Education, Disability and Social Policy outlines critical debates in education concerning the position and experiences of disabled children and young people within a contemporary policy context.

Incorporating new voices from leading thinkers, this second edition includes a fresh introduction and updates to key chapters, including considerations of the impact of social media on young people's 'voice' and whether the Children and Families Act (2014) resolved tensions between parents and local authorities over resources. In addition, it includes a new discussion on the intersection of race and disability.

Reviews for Education, Disability and Social Policy

""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.
