EDUCATION (HANDICAPPED CHILDREN) ACT 1970
This Act made provision to bring into the educational system those children who have or would
previously have been determined as being unsuitable for education at school. No child within the
age limits for education is outside the scope of the educational system now.
The following table covers all children for whom the London Borough of Hillingdon has some responsibility and provides factual evidence of steps taken to identify these children and any problems which they present in school or in the home. 97.1
