Special Needs Education Policies in Scotland

In Scotland, children with special educational needs (SEN) are supported primarily through an inclusive approach, although some children also receive separate special education when necessary. Educational policy discourse has expanded to address SEN provision for disruptive students, with the government actively seeking to reduce lost class days resulting from school exclusions. Like the rest of the United Kingdom, Scotland operates under a multi-track approach where special education systems and policies are subject to ongoing debate and evolution (Tisdall & Riddell, 2006).
