Ann Lewis (Senior Lecturer in Education), Sean Neill (Senior Lecturer in the Policy Analysis Unit) and Jim Campbell (Professor of Education and Director of the Policy Analysis Unit), all of the University of Warwick, consider the views of staff in special schools, units and services (referred to as the ‘special sector’) on the introduction of the Code of Practice. The underlying argument is that, within the context of a discussion on its possible relevance to the special sector, the Code's potential universality is being lost through an over‐emphasis on the implementation of its procedural aspects (notably the ‘five stages’) and an under‐emphasis on its principles.
