Abstract

This study day, organised by the King's Fund, took as its starting point chapter 10 of the Report of the Committee of Enquiry into the Education of Handicapped Children and Young People (the Warnock Report). Main problems were that too few further and higher educational opportunities exist for school leavers with a disability; the school leavers are unaware of opportunities that do exist; and attitudes suggest that children and young people with physical disabilities have no need for further education. The study day considered how to expand and improve existing provision and aimed to determine priority issues in realistic financial and political terms.
