HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 cc104-5W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans her Department has to introduce a star rating system to award (a) local education authorities, (b) schools and (c) colleges who are putting into practice good systems to support inclusion of SEN children; what plans her Department has to name (i) local education authorities, (ii) schools and (iii) colleges who are failing or rejecting SEN children and adults; and if she will make a statement. [72028]

Stephen Twigg

My right hon. Friend has no such plans. However, her Department does take a close interest in local education authority, school and college systems to support inclusion, particularly through OFSTED inspection and post-inspection action planning. The Department is also considering how effective practice on inclusion might best be reflected in performance indicators used in the Comprehensive Performance Assessment of local authorities.
