policy option papers

The SEN Policy Options Steering Group organised the initial ESRC - Cadbury Trust series on policy options for special educational needs in the early 1990s. The success of the first series led to subsequent series which have been supported financially by nasen. The Steering Group has representatives from LEA administrators, head teachers, voluntary organisations, professional associations, universities and research. These events are intended to consider current and future policy issues in the field in a pro-active way. They are planned to interest all those concerned with policy matters in special educational needs.
