Summary:Since the Warnock Report (Warnock 1978) the trend in Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision has centred around the concept of integration. This has led to a sharp rise in the numbers of SEN pupils in mainstream primary and secondary schools. Not only has the number of statemented children risen in total from a projected 2 per cent of school-age children to 3 per cent in 1997, but the number in mainstream schools has doubled (to 134,000) since 1991 (DfEE 1997a). The Warnock Report also predicted that 20 per cent of all school children would have a Special Educational Need at some time during their school career.
