Books and Articles

I have been writing, on and off, for most of my life. Only a few pieces have made it through to the mainstream media. Most have been published by organisations with which I have been connected, or I have self-published. This does not seem to have stopped the pieces being widely read and, I hope, are helping to make people think. This is my first web site and I am pleased to be able to publish some of the most popular ones again for you to download and read. I hope to add to this list as time goes on.

If you wish to quote any part please acknowledge the source.

This book is an attempt to describe the rise of the inclusion movement, the people who have driven it forwards, its aims and values, and its implications for the transformation of society. Buy it online from Trafford, see below. The opening chapter is reproduced here.
