Information leaflet on Article 24 (Education) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) which emphasizes disabled children's rights to an inclusive education. The leaflet also offers information on the Convention's relevance to UK schools, relevant UK legislation and guidance, and a range of useful resources. The leaflet opens up to an A2-sized poster designed to be displayed in schools. Created by CSIE in collaboration with the Alliance for Inclusive Education, Disability Equality in Education and Parents for Inclusion.
This reference table is an extract from "Contrasting responses to diversity: school placement trends 2007-13 for all local authorities in England" (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/contrasting-responses-to-diversity-11363225), a report which has been researched and written for CSIE by Dr Alison Black and Professor Brahm Norwich, of the University of Exeter. This report is the latest in a long (since the 1980s) series of CSIE reports on school placement trends, i.e. the proportion of children placed in special schools or other separate settings by each local authority in England. It reveals huge variation among local authorities, which cannot be explained by the size of a local authority or its social or geographical characteristics. This information can help people reach better informed decisions about individual children's school placements and formulate better informed evaluations of provision at local and national levels.
