Children with autism from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities experience discrimination on two fronts - their disability and their ethnicity - isolating them from the education system that should provide opportunities for success. Some excellent practice exists but sadly this is still an exception. The neglect of BME families by researchers, professionals and service providers is unacceptable and must be addressed with urgency. The NAS make school make sense campaign demands the right school for every child, the right training for every teacher and the right approach in every school.

Is there a clear, safe and proportionate approach to the way risk is assessed or managed? Are any autism needs known and met?; Is there active planning for the future and for discharge with clear ownership?; Are family and carers being listened to and involved?; Are the child/young person’s rights and freedoms being protected and upheld?; and Is enough attention being given to the particular needs of the child or young person?

The News of inclusive education: a narrative analysis

This American article investigates a nationally publicised case in the debate over the best method of educating millions of children with severe disabilities. It analyses 4 years of the extensive media coverage of the legal battles of Mark Hartmann's family. The 11-year-old's parents took the Loudoun County, VA, Board of Education to court to reinstate their autistic son in a regular classroom. Although the Hartmanns lost in court, this narrative analysis suggests that the family and its supporters provided more persuasive narrative themes in the news media's court of public opinion, thus advancing the national inclusion movement.

This guidance has been developed following a project to review the commissioning arrangements for children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism whose behaviours challenge. It aims to support local authorities and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to jointly commission services for children and young people with SEND as required by the Children and Families Act (2014). The guide focuses on the overall culture that needs to be in place to enable good services to flourish. It sets out seven commissioning considerations, including: visions and values, leadership, relationships, the model of service, skilled providers and staff; and an evidence base. Each section includes a description of what good looks like, provides links to further resources and concludes with recommendations for what effective action by commissioners should consist of. The guide will help commissioners and planners to review their current practice and develop an agenda for change. (Edited publisher abstract)
