Support For Special Schools

EDM number 539 in 2005-06, proposed by David Cameron on 06/07/2005.

That this House believes that special schools play a vital role in meeting the needs of children with learning difficulties, and that parents should have more choice between special and mainstream schools; welcomes the recent pamphlet by Baroness Warnock on the impact of the inclusion agenda; further believes that the Government should now hold a proper review of the provision of special educational needs to cover concerns about the statementing process, the continued closure of special schools, concerns about bias in the law and central government pressure to pursue policies of inclusion when they are not always appropriate; and calls for a moratorium on special school closures until such a review has been published and properly debated.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs.
