Inclusion Charter
The Enfield Inclusion Charter sets out a shared vision for inclusion and has been developed by children and young people, headteachers, teacher, parents and carers, council officers, health partners and voluntary sector organisations. At the heart of this charter, is a culture where we embrace difference,; where barriers are minimised or removed; and where the everyday lived experiences, interests and needs of children and young people with SEND are better understood.
By signing up to this charter, Waverley has commited to both the principles and approach.
Signing the Inclusion Charter is a commitment to:
- Provide clear, visible and strong leadership for inclusion
- Ensure that everyone takes responsibility for including children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities
- Understand that all behaviour happens for a reason
- Listen and respond to children and young people’s opinions and ideas when making any decision which impacts on their lives
- Celebrate difference and diversity
- Work with families, professionals and practitioners across our community to help all children and young people to thrive
- Ensure that everyone is comfortable to be open and honest about what support they need to help children and young people in their care
- Support children and young people to prepare for their adulthood from the early years and throughout their childhood and adolescence, so they can shape their future in the way they want.
