In this article, I reflect on the recent policy shift away from planned special schools towards specialist facilities in mainstream. I argue that expanding inclusive practice, supported by well-resourced specialist provision, should be central to policy and practice

The increasing call for more special schools should be understood not as clear evidence of their necessity

Very pleased to share our project on resourced provision in mainstream schools, now featured by @publicpolicyuos.bsky.social. The video highlights how this model can promote both academic and social inclusion for students with disabilities and my engagement with policymakers and the public.
