Inclusion and participation

From the Department for Education 2006 consultation paper “Sustainable Schools for Pupils, Communities and the Environment”

Opportunity

Schools can promote community cohesion by providing an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere that values everyone’s participation and contributions.  They can challenge prejudice and injustice in all its forms.

Recommendation (by 2020)

We would like all schools to be models of social inclusion, enabling all pupils to participate fully in school life while instilling a long-lasting respect for human rights, freedoms, cultures and creative expression.
