Leading on Inclusion: Dilemmas, debates and new perspectives critically examines the current theory and legislative context of special educational needs and disability, and explores the enduring issues and opportunities that will affect future practice in all schools.

-
- the voice of young people
-
- whole school development and planning for inclusion
-
- educational change within the context of inclusion
-
- the pros and cons of multi-professional working
-
- inclusive and ethical research
-
- international perspectives on inclusion, SEN and disability
-
- the development of teacher education and the notion of 'joined up' thinking.
