There is an ongoing vibrant debate about inclusive education, with different ideas and views on what inclusion really means and how we can develop a more inclusive education system.
Our starting point is a belief that all young people should be treated with equal value, and all should receive a high quality education and appropriate support regardless of their background or need.
However, for too many, this is not what they experience. A system of accountability has developed that is so perverse that some schools see some young people as more valuable to them and other young people as too difficult to deal with.
A lack of imagination, fragmentation of the school eco system and inadequate funding have meant that even where schools do their absolute best some young people fall through the cracks.
