Introduction to Inclusion

Inclusion is said to be the keystone of Government Education Policy.

In the most recent National Curriculum handbook, inclusion is viewed as central to providing effective learning opportunities for ALL pupils.

The use of the term reflects a much wider social inclusion agenda which seeks to minimise the likelihood of at risk groups being excluded from their local schools, their cultures and their communities. It is an umbrella term which may cover the following aspects.

Inclusion in Education

Inclusion in education involves the processes of increasing the participation of students in, and reducing their exclusion from the cultures, curricula and communities of local schools.

Child learning
It is not only those with impairments who are categorised as having special educational needs.

Inclusion involves restructuring the cultures, policies and practices in schools so that they respond to the diversity of students in their locality.

Inclusion is concerned with the learning and participation of all students vulnerable to exclusionary pressures, not only those with impairments or those who are categorised as having special educational needs.

Inclusion is concerned with improving schools for staff as well as for students.

A concern with overcoming barriers to the access and participation of particular students may reveal gaps in the attempts of a school to respond to diversity more generally.

All students have a right to an education in their locality. Diversity is not viewed as a problem to be overcome, but as a rich resource to support the learning of all.

Inclusion is concerned with fostering mutually sustaining relationships between schools and communities. Inclusion in education is one aspect of inclusion in society.
