The educational system of the UK is administered at national level.  Thus there is no common policy for either education or special education across the UK: rather, there are different policies, structures and approaches for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.   The respective education departments (ministries) are:
 
The Department for Education and Skills  (www.dfes.gov.uk) (www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/sen)
The Welsh Office (Education Department) (www.wales.gov.uk) (ww.learning.wales.gov.uk)
The Scottish Executive Education Department (www.scotland.gov.uk) (www.Scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Education)
The Department for Education in Northern Ireland (www.northernireland.gov.uk) (www.deni.gov.uk)

The first web site cited is the general site; the second is specific to education and/or special education.  The websites give:
. information about internal structure and management
. national level initiatives and policy
. current contact points
. information by themes (eg curriculum, assessment, stakeholder group)
. links to other relevant education and special education websites
