Attend this essential Masterclass and come away with practical tips and tools to embed a whole school approach to inclusion.
Inclusion is the responsibility of the whole school and everyone within it and can provide huge benefits to all children.
Creating an inclusive learning environment means that you can offer the same access and opportunities to all children, regardless of their individual needs. Inclusion doesn’t just refer to children with special educational needs or disabilities. Those who are part of the LQBTQ+ community, have English as an additional language or students from the BAME community, for example, might all benefit from improvements to inclusion.
This brand-new masterclass has been designed to help you to embed a whole school approach to inclusion. You’ll come away with practical tools to use straight away in your school, including an audit framework and staff training resources to help you improve staff involvement.
