[Sienna18]

Hi all, although ive googled it i can't get my head around this question. It's Q7.1 Explain what is meant by inclusion and inclusive practice? Am i right in thinking that the words mean the same and that its to be with how people are included in the school regardless of any physical disabilities or learning needs?
is this the basic answer for it?
Thankyou for any help.

Inclusion: a process of identyfying, understanding and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging (definition developed by Early Childhood Forum)

Page 128 of the EYE handbook looks at the ways professionals put inclusion into everyday practice

• working with the setting's policies and procudures
• valuing the individual child
• developing and sustaining a child-centered approach
