Linking ideas with government.

I have just spent a productive afternoon with the Head of Specialist and Inclusive Education at WCED.
He is very keen to hear more about this and is very aware that there are areas of great need. He is now looking at how people like me can work with WCED to improve provision.
He liked the "every Child Matters" mind map I showed him.
He agreed that a rethink needs to happen at all levels of inclusive education. 

He was interested in the whole approach I had -- including my concerns about text book layout, behaviour management, workshops for schools and a rethink of how funding is allocated. 
He has asked for some further information from me and will be in touch in the next month or so....
