Argues that the role played in educational terms by special schools is being mirrored in welfare by voluntary organisations who provide separate services for disabled children. The impact of the contract culture is reinforcing this trend so that the imperative in the Children Act 1989 to integrate is being undermined by the growing role of voluntary organisations as providers, rather than innovators or advocates. The article draws on previously published research into the changes in social workers role in relation to child protection, since the Children Act and a previously unpublished case study in a voluntary sector project.
