Sinopsis

This books examines the increased prominence of childrenâÇÖs rights in education to ask whether we are witnessing a paradigm shift within the education system. The author uses a wide range of case studies from Scotland and England to examine the extent to which children and young people with Special Educational Needs/ Additional Support Needs are in practice able to realise their new rights of participation and redress. In addition, the book examines the ways in which the childâÇÖs capacity to make independent decisions is understood and acted upon in different contexts, and the factors which ultimately promote or inhibit the rights of young people and children with SEN/ ASN. The author asks whether, in a context of tight budgets and often limited support, this new emphasis on childrenâÇÖs rights can be seen as âÇÖwindow-dressingâÇÖ and a distraction from reductions in support for social welfare.á
