Children First

Synopsis

Examines the implementation of Nottinghamhsire’s ‘Children First’ policy, aimed to integrate children with special needs into mainstream schools. The policy was controversial because it would ultimately lead to the closing of specialist schools, and it would also place heavy demands on teachers who would now have to cope with a wider range of children.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
