 BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours - transcript
Barry Sheerman, one of the things that your committee is examining is the question of how special educational needs are defined, is that because you feel the law that, as I've just quoted it, is out of date?
But part of the problem, Barry Sheerman, surely is that in the 30 years since Baroness Warnock had her committee and looked at this things have changed drastically and we've got to look at who should be included now in that special needs category if indeed there should be one.
Well I think if you were listening to Barry Sheerman earlier he will have explained that this is the most locally determined set of arrangements that we've got in education and therefore the variation is entirely down to the fact that different local authorities take a different approach, albeit within a national framework.
