Inclusion

• Inclusion is about removing barriers to ensure access and participation.

• It means making sure that all children/staff feel that they ‘belong’ in the setting and have equal access to resources, activities and services.

• It celebrates diversity.

Reflection from placement

• How do you ensure ALL children are included and feel they belong in your setting?– Look back at the range of differences and identify

how you support some of these differences.
