This small book provides early years practitioners with concise advice, taking them through the process of writing an inclusion policy step by step but stressing that writing is the easy part - 'putting it into practice and providing evidence that you do so is the greater challenge'.
The author starts by asking, 'What is inclusion?' and other important questions. However, she does not mention how essential an understanding of the social model of disability would be to their inclusion journey. Next, she outlines the legal requirements and the key points to cover in a policy to ensure it is a living, breathing document that reflects the values of everyone in the setting.
