We know Inclusive Education works!
Dear friends,
Over the last few months we have seen the inclusion of our disabled children and young people being ATTACKED by teacher's unions, academics and by the Government. And on every occasion the voices of inclusion have been IGNORED - those of us who know that inclusion can work and does work.
We need to answer the critics of inclusion by telling them OUR STORIES - we want to collect real stories of your experiences of being included in a mainstream nursery or school or your experience of getting your child or young person into a mainstream nursery or school. What difference has inclusion made to the lives of your family? What difference has it made to your community? What difference has it made to the school?
We, as INCLUSIONISTS, are fighting back. We really NEED YOU to help to make this a BIG campaign. It needs to be bigger than the Inclusion movement!
The Government's response to the Education and Skills Select Committee's report on SEN is due in October so we must DISPEL THE MYTHS in the report that inclusion isn't working and that disabled children and young people are better segregated from their communities.
The "We Know Inclusion Works" campaign is the re-lighting of the bigger campaign to guarantee an inclusive future for ALL children, whatever their difference.
We will be putting our briefings and other important information about the campaign on the Alliance website - www.allfie.org.uk. You will find the latest news on the "We know Inclusion Works" event at Downing Street.
Our voices will be heard!
