Shortlisted for the NASEN/TES 2007 Book Award Increased partnership
between professionals, particularly through the integration of
services, indicates a major opportunity for child and parent
participation, but one that seems in danger of being side-stepped.
Drawing on substantial research evidence, this book looks at
reasons for this situation; what is happening now, what
developments and initiatives have been tried and what can be done
to develop a culture of participation? Some of the main threats to
participation are discussed in this book including: Has
'partnership' ever been? Who is excluded from 'partnership'? Which
discourses have made participation illusive and what are the
implications - theoretical and practical - for how we move forward?
Partnerships for Inclusive Education includes a helpful framework
map which guides critical thinking towards the development of a
culture of collaboration and presents original and stimulating
ideas to open up the complex processes that can frustrate
participative practice. Combining socio-cultural ideas with
post-structural thinking gives this book a strong yet accessible
theoretical basis, making it a valuable resource to both an
academic and a professional educational audience.
