There are more than 800 independent special schools across the UK , catering for about 21,000 children.
Last year , local authorities in England spent 1.6bn on sending children to special schools - sometimes at more than 1 m a place.
The majority are privately owned and run on a profit-making basis.
The BBC has shared its findings with the Minister for School Standards Catherine McKinnell .
Leah won a disability discrimination case against her school to try to stop the restraints.
Leah’s local council terminated her school placement and put an alternative support plan.
Independent schools in the UK must be registered with the education authority in their nation.
However, they do not need to employ qualified teachers (except in Scotland ).
