In this module, you will explore the terms ‘inclusion’, ‘equality’ and ‘diversity’.
You will examine current equality legislation including the Equality Act 2010 and the duties that apply to schools, as well as the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice 2015 and how it should operate in the work place to support children, young people and their families.
You will consider not only the principles that underpin these terms, but also how they relate to specific dimensions in the lives of children, young people and their families, for example there will be sessions focused on ethnicity, gender, social mobility, poverty and disability.
The role of the teaching assistant in promoting inclusion will also be explored.
