Learning outcomes

Advantages of this course

• Inclusion means involving all children, young people, and adults in mainstream society, including those with disabilities and/or learning difficulties
• Legislation and statutory guidance are in place to ensure that all children have the right to reach their full potential and have an excellent start to life irrespective of their background, race, colour or gender. This means they should not face discrimination, which can have a damaging effect on children and adults alike.
• This course explains more about what is meant by inclusion, and offers further information about those individuals who might not be included. You will see ways to promote diversity, equality, and inclusion and support others to do so, as well as how to challenge discrimination.
