′In a world where education initiatives seem to land as relentlessly as dead leaves from a grey sky, this book will help... Readers can rest assured that they are in good hands...′

′Though it is presented as a workbook that one might dip into for useful bits, it is in fact more than that and repays more thorough reading from beginning to end, for much is covered... It will certainly be invaluable for Sencos and headteachers who want to ensure that they are up to speed with Government initiatives and directives...′

′The book is called Making Inclusion Happen and it will certainly help you to this end, for it′s an excellent résumé of issues and schemes′ - Times Educational Supplement, Book of the Week

′A well-written and clearly presented overview of how to develop more inclusive practice and provision′ - SENCO Update
