In 1992, the Advisory Centre for Education (ACE) set up an inquiry into the support and training available to governing bodies of mainstream schools in the area of special educational needs, and the consideration given by governors to these issues. The findings of the inquiry, by ACE's researcher Lorna Scott, show that such support is usually minimal or non‐existent, that governing bodies and governors are confused about their role in this area and that school policies on special needs are thin on the ground.
