This study evaluates the Schools Access Initiative (SAI), which aims to increase access to mainstream schools for pupils with a physical or sensory impairment. The aim of the study is to follow up on to earlier reports: ‘Within reach: a study’ (1992) and ‘Within reach: the school survey’ (1993). These earlier reports were the basis for a campaign which preceded the introduction of SAI. A sample of eight LEAs and twenty seven schools are used as a basis for the report. Attitudes to inclusion; LEA knowledge of accessibility; views on management of the SAI; and sufficiency of the SAI are looked at.
