Using the learning from school improvement work in Doncaster, including the Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) work done with 18 primary schools across the city, we will examine the key practical solutions to current school and classroom dilemmas. This is underpinned by high quality Universal practice framed using an InclusionByDesign approach that can be summed up as "necessary for some, useful for all."

Target audience who should attend this seminar: SENCO's / Leaders / Practitioners / Support Staff / Parent & Carers / Local Authority Staff

Learning outcomes: 

• A clear understanding of the importance of InclusionByDesign, and why the SEND and inclusion leads in a school have to work closely with the teaching and learning as well as the pastoral leads - every school and subject leader is a leader of SEND and inclusion, and you should be able to grow the ownership of inclusion in your setting.
• A clear understanding of the importance of a universal whole school environment audit of the setting, one that involves all stakeholders being able to give their view on physical, sensory and technology challenges and strategies and go on to create a setting action plan.
• Build partnerships both within and outside your setting, with parent/carers, and local education and health providers - growing both a capacity to promote (and an ownership of) inclusion.
