Inclusion: A Culture of Belonging - A Staff Guide

This episode came about after I was asked to lead an hour long training session (with out fabulous Trust Inclusion Lead- shout out to Beth!!) with staff in primary and secondary schools on how to create a culture of belonging. We know that inclusion sits at the very core of the renewed inspection framework and so it's important that we all understand how we can demonstrate the very best inclusion practice for the most vulnerable learners in our care. However, it's absolutely not just for Ofsted... it's about our moral purpose - to ensure that the most vulnerable get the very best start possible - equity rather than equality. In this week's episode, I unpack what it means to be really inclusive. We consider each of the statutorily vulnerable groups of learners and how we can best support each one. We also learn how to identify other vulnerable groups in our own settings in addition to this - which is really important, if we are going to be forensically inclusive. At the heart of this episode is the idea that if we get it right for our most vulnerable pupils, we get it right for everyone.
