This book is based on findings from an ESRC-funded research project entitled Autonomy, Rights and Children with Special Needs: A New Paradigm? (Ref. ES/P002641/1). This project was conducted by researchers at the Universities of Edinburgh and Manchester between 2017 and 2019, under the joint directorship of Professor Neville Harris and myself. I am very grateful to the ESRC for their support of this work. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Neville Harris, Emeritus Professor of Law in the Department of Law, University of Manchester, who provided endless insights into the intricacies of the legal framework surrounding children’s rights across the UK. Thanks are also due to Dr James MacAllister, Edinburgh University, who worked as Co-Investigator throughout the project and Dr Amanda Gillooly, University of Glasgow, who worked on the later stages of the project and produced the figures and tables which feature in Chap. 4. Dr Gail Davidge, University of Manchester, undertook the bulk of the fieldwork in England, forging strong relationships with students, parents and teachers. Thanks are also due to Dr Duncan Carmic
