Normalising inclusion for all - Strategies for the National Education Service

with Angela Rayner speaking.

The Fabians' Education Policy Group extends an open invitation to those interested in education to debate this issue.

Hosted by MP Kate Green, the event is being held in Committee Room 11, at the House of Commons, 7pm-9pm Tuesday November 19th 2019. Please allow 30 minutes to get through security.

Speakers representing a range of perspectives are being added as they are confirmed.

Summary

We have a moral imperative to educate our children in the best way possible. But how can this be done, and who should be involved?

We are concerned that inclusion is for all pupils, be they academically gifted or SEND.

We are particularly interested in focussing on actions that would help a Government to set in motion quickly a good inclusion policy.

In this session we will debate strategies for inclusion and we invite ideas of new and creative ways of approaching inclusion.

Time will be set aside for audience participation and contributions.

A summary of the event will be available on the Fabians' website.

We have booked a pub for people to go to after the session to continue the discussion.
