Module 3: Practical strategies to develop a setting which is inclusive for everyone
In the last module we thought about the legal basis for what we do as well as some of the different strengths and needs that children and young people might have.
This is a really practical part of the course where we are going to think about
- What does an inclusive setting look like?
- What stops us making our setting more inclusive?
- How to plan for inclusion in our setting
According to the Disabled Children’s Partnership and Contact, only 4% of the children with disabilities in 2022 were able to access holiday club provision. This is not useful for those parents who work, those children who want to join in with their friends or other children who may need support in learning about the mix of different people within our society. As a wraparound setting, there are key aspects that you will need to consider when focusing on how you can be more inclusive.
