Really looking forward to #IncludEd26 today with @thedifferenceed.bsky.social . Inclusive education for all needs to be at the forefront of all decisions and aspirations for our children and so today is a vital part of that discussion

Why inclusion must be a cornerstone of the White Paper After years of teaching in mainstream schools and now as an outreach teacher, this educator argues that inclusion is key to stopping pupils from falling through the cracks

💡 Inclusion isn’t a side policy - it’s the cornerstone of reform.

School leaders are doing vital work to make inclusion real - often without the system support they deserve.

When inclusion is the foundation, everyone benefits.
