The Warnock Report

The Warnock Report, published in 1978 in the UK, was a landmark document in special education. It aimed to improve the education of children with special needs by emphasizing their rights to education alongside their peers. The report recognized the importance of identifying individual needs and promoting inclusive practices in schools. It led to significant changes in educational policy, including the establishment of the framework for integrating children with disabilities into mainstream education. The Warnock Report laid the foundation for future legislation and initiatives focused on equality and support for all learners, regardless of their challenges.
