Service Inclusion practices
What is your philosophy around inclusion? (300 words)
The ideology of inclusion extends beyond the concept of physical location to include a belief system and fundamental values that encourage belonging, interaction, and participation. This philosophy is based on the idea that given the opportunity, a good education, and adequate resources, every child can reach and learn to their full potential. Inclusion is a process of acting and thinking that makes everyone feel valued, safe, and accepted. Every child, i
espective of their characteristics, has the right to be educated in an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere where they may thrive socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually (Amor et al., 2018).
It is believed that education is the cornerstone a child requires to develop and learn, and that inclusion is an important component of the learning environment. If inclusion is not practised, children are devoid of the opportunities to learn respect, growth, and acceptance from their interactions with a diverse range of people with varying abilities and viewpoints. Children with special needs should participate in education as much as their contemporaries without special requirements (Bildiren, 2018).
The fundamental objective of education is to train students to be global citizens and lifelong learners. Special education services assist and prepare students with special needs to address the problems they confront regularly. Students with special needs are included in all of the programs. An inclusive environment grows purposefully in response to the changing demands of its individuals. Through acknowledgment and support, an inclusive environment fosters meaningful participation and fair access to membership benefits (de Bruin, 2019).
Addressing the learning demands on either side of the spectrum usually enhances the quality of education for all individuals in the teaching process while also encouraging diversity acceptance and awareness. The child (where appropriate), principal, parents, teachers, specialist support service providers, community members, and learning assistants are all involved in determining the most supportive environment and personalised programme planning (Marie & Bailey, 2022).

How does your service promote learning experiences, interactions and participation to build on children’s strengths and
encourage involvement? (300 words)
This service assists care and education services in providing and embedding quality inclusive practises into the early education service delivery for all children, addressing participation and access ba
iers, and supporting the inclusion of students with special needs alongside their usually developing peers. It benefits all children, including those without and those with special needs. It increases understanding, decreases prejudice, and improves social integration. It assures that gifted and disabled children are prepared to work and participate socially and economically in their communities (Meskhi et al., 2019).
Inclusive systems improve educational quality for every child and help to change implicit bias. This service offers the setting for a child's first encounter with the environment outside of their family, allowing for the formation of social interactions and relationships. When children of all backgrounds and abilities play, interact, and learn together, understanding and respect grow (Pa
& Stevens, 2019). Inclusive education services are all about exploring the ways the classrooms,...
