"Every School a Good School: The Way Forward For Special Education Needs and Inclusion


02 November 2009

Include Youth welcomes the opportunity to respond to this consultation document and to engage in the debate on how we can overcome barriers to learning for all children.

We believe that this policy is attempting to achieve an education system which can deliver on children’s diverse needs. However, such is the enormity and complexity of the task in hand; we are not convinced that this policy in its present form can deliver the vision it hopes to for all children. There is much more teasing out to be done and detail to be filled in on how we can support schools to deliver on the vision. We share the Department’s commitment that every school can become a good school and look forward to working in partnership to realise that aim.
