Creating a Movement - The Struggle for Inclusive Education in the UK 1990 - 2006

Synopsis
The movement for Inclusive Education is largely misunderstood and under-reported in the media. This DVD is relevant to everyone who wants to work towards a society in which exclusivity is not an organising principle, a society in which all people are brought up to live well together.
Section 1 - Prologue - These short personal statements to camera say why the issue in this video will make compelling viewing for anyone interested in progressive educational and world change.
Section 2 - Demo and Occupation - The demonstration, organised by ALLfIE and DAN (Direct Action Network), outside Downing Street in 1998 was a key moment in the public assertion of the case for Inclusive Education.
Section 3 - DfES Consultation 2003 - This shows how the state officials attempt to manage a so-called ‘consultation’ on the matter with that group of people most effected. But the video is more valuable as a record of what Disabled people have to say about their own experiences of segregated schooling.
Section 4 - Interview with Micheline Mason ALLfIE’s current Director Tara Flood interviews Micheline Mason, campaigner and author.
