Abstract

The principle of parental involvement in education is highlighted and positively supported in general terms in the Green Paper. However, key principles concerning the rights and duties of parents of children with special learning needs, their access to full information to facilitate decision making, and their involvement in the planning process, are not adequately addressed in the document.
