Legislation and Regulations
AdminHistoryThe Warnock Report in 1978 led to the 1981 Education Act, which radically changed the conceptualisation of special educational needs. It introduced the idea of special educational needs (SEN), "statements" of SEN, and an "integrative"—which later became known as "inclusive"—approach, based on common educational goals for all children regardless of their abilities or disabilities. The Act laid down that children should be educated in mainstream schools or classes wherever possible.
