Patrick Coldstream, CBE, Visiting Professor, Institute of Education and formerly Director of The Council for Industry and Higher Education. Special Educational Needs and Inclusion. The Green Paper Excellence for All points the way towards greater inclusion of pupils with special needs in mainstream schools. In managing one of the biggest changes in educational provision this century, the issues for schools and local authorities are many and complex. This conference explores those issues and aims to give delegates a deeper insight into their role in that change process, as well as outlining some of the best practice and possible ways forward.
