What is the Inclusion Toolkit?

The toolkit was written in response to Manchester’s Inclusion Strategy promise to schools to:

  • Develop and promote inclusive practice guidance, including the use of evidence-based approaches.
  • Develop and share a multiagency toolkit of resources.


Manchester’s updated Inclusion Strategy (2022-2025) can also be downloaded using the link below.

A brief introduction to the Inclusion Toolkit for Parents/Carers

Carrie Bray and Amy Burns from One Education Educational Psychology Service introduce Manchester’s Inclusion Strategy and Inclusion Toolkit.  

What does the toolkit contain?

The first section of the toolkit provides an overview of Manchester’s vision for inclusion and the guiding principles which inform this vision. This is a helpful section to read in full.

At the end of section one of the toolkit you will find a clickable links table which acts as a hyperlinked contents page so you can navigate the document easily.

The second section provides a description of the five evidence-based approaches Manchester endorses as being supportive of whole-school inclusive good practice. The aim is that at least one of these approaches would fit well with the existing ethos and practice of your school or would be an area for development in the future.

The final three sections consist of a range of chapters that cover a wide array of additional needs (academic, medical and pastoral) that are a ‘dip in as needed’ resource bank full of helpful hyperlinks to teaching resources, videos, audit tools and much more.

This toolkit is meant to be an easily accessible document which all staff in school might be able to make use of. The toolkit is an evolving document which will be updated each year – the document on this webpage will always be the most up to date version so it’s worth checking back here to see if anything new has been posted.
