Aims to identify needs for NHS support for schools as expressed by children with special health needs, their parents and teachers, and to make recommendations for good practice. Commences with a review of relevant literature. Examines results of focus group discussions, which raised issues relating to school absence, exclusion from school life, support from peers and teachers, and medical care. Finally reports on conclusions arising from workshops with managers and professionals from education and health care.
