Education, Disability and Social Policy
About this book
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 whether the Children and Families Act (2014) resolved tensions between parents and local authorities over resources, and proposals for a whole-school, strengths-based approach to social, emotional and mental health difficulties. In addition, it includes a new discussion on the intersection of race and disability.
