The overall study is looking at the effectiveness of current legislation and guidance in protecting and promoting the interests of disabled children who attend residential schools and is also examining: the circumstances in which disabled children are placed in residential schools; the extent to which disabled children are involved in the decision to place them at boarding school; and how disabled children's relationships with their families are affected by going to residential school and what schools and local authorities do to nurture these relationships. This report focuses in particular on the policies and practices of a sample of twenty one education and social services departments
