The Newsom Report

The Newsom Report, officially known as "Children in Hospital," was published in 1965 by Lord David Newsom. It highlighted the challenges faced by children with disabilities and chronic illnesses in accessing quality education and healthcare. The report emphasized the importance of inclusive education, specialized support, and improved facilities to better integrate these children into society. Its insights helped raise awareness and prompted policy changes aimed at ensuring that children with disabilities received appropriate educational opportunities and care, fostering greater social inclusion and understanding.
