Education around the world is becoming increasingly inclusive. There is an onus on schools to develop their ability to include pupils who are described as having special educational needs. Nottingham City Council demonstrated its endorsement of inclusion through consultation and publication of an Inclusion Policy Statement in 1999. The statement explicitly adopts the social model of disability with its focus on the removal of barriers. The social model contrasts with the traditional medical model of disability which identifies the individual's impairment as creating a special problem in need of treatment. This 17 page book presents the views of some of the young people who attend schools in Nottingham. They were encouraged to comment on their experiences of the inclusion process to highlight good practice.
