Inclusive Practice

Equality and diversity, children's entitlements and early support

Ensuring that every aspect of early childhood education is inclusive is vital to providing the highest quality education for young children and their families, Inclusive Practice offers essential guidance on how to plan and resource a genuinely inclusive environment. It shows educators how to facilitate an inclusive team and invites them to reflect on three main strands of quality and diversity, children's entitlements, and early support. It will also help early childhood educators and teams put inclusive practice into action. The many practical examples and points for reflection support readers to gain confidence in their own skills and assess whether they could improve their current provision to better support the young children in their care.
