Although specifically aimed at teachers and others working with and on
behalf of children with special needs, the contents of this first
issue (published by Birmingham City Council) impressed me enough to
want to share with colleagues who may not come across it by other
means.
My wife drew my attention to it as many of the issues raised apply
across a broader "social inclusion" spectrum.
Editorial: "Action for inclusion is being produced to support of
[putting] inclusion into practice in schools and other educational
settings and in the wider community."
I particularly liked this from an article called "Being included":
"Inclusion is a celebration of the individual and an acceptance that
we are all different and do not necessarily need to conform" and "All
children are special but some of their needs set them apart".
Substitute "people" for "children" and there you have it.
