Contrasting responses to diversity: school placement trends 2007-2013 for all local authorities in England (2014)- report
This report presents school placement trends (i.e. the proportion of children placed in special schools or other separate settings) from 2007 to 2013 for each local authority in England.
It reveals huge variation in the proportion of children regularly sent to special schools by each local authority. These differences bear no simple relation to the size of a local authority or its social or geographical characteristics.
This information can help parents and professionals in negotiating children's school placements and can support the efforts of those who want to lobby for change.
