Summary/Abstract: The inclusion of children with special educational needs in mainstream schools is based on positive values such as acceptance of differences, respect for diversity, human solidarity, the fight against exclusion and marginalisation but it also involves a change in school policy. Through a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews applied to the relevant actors, the article examines the forms of maltreatment that may appear in the case of children with special education needs when schools and social actors are insufficiently prepared to adapt to this change. The article identifies some solutions adopted by the school staff and proposes several measures to prevent the phenomenon of victimisation of children with special educational needs in inclusive schools.
