A one-stop resource hub designed to support schools and other settings to promote inclusion in all its forms.
The toolkit was written in response to Manchester’s Inclusion Strategy promise to schools to:
Manchester’s updated Inclusion Strategy (2022-2025) can also be downloaded using the link below.
Carrie Bray and Amy Burns from the One Education Educational Psychology Service introduce Manchester’s Inclusion Strategy and the Inclusion Toolkit. They also provide important recent updates to the toolkit to those already familiar and an overview to anyone new to this resource.
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.
The audit tool guides you to consider practice in eight key areas to prioritise first in order to enhance inclusion:
Inclusive education removes the barriers to participation and achievement. It respects diverse needs and abilities and eliminates discrimination. Inclusive education systems are ones where children’s rights are understood and respected.
Government guidance emphasises the requirement for schools to understand, demonstrate and embed inclusive practices throughout their environment, ethos, curriculum and teaching.
Manchester City Council endorses the view that inclusion is a continuous process of development, review and adjustment. ‘Inclusion’ is an ongoing journey towards equity of educational access. The benefits of self-evaluation, peer review and reflective practice are widely known.
The audit tool will help you to identify which areas you need to prioritise first to enhance inclusion. This tool has been created as part of Manchester’s Inclusion Strategy work to support schools in their inclusion work.
The tool recommends standards in order to meet the eight principles for mental health in education settings and can help your school to develop an action plan to develop your whole school mental health approach.
Below are some additional resources to support you.
The free resources look at six different key approaches and why they are important to your school and supporting your pupils. They also ask you to consider important questions and suggest how currently strategies can be adapted in order to support pupils in school.
