    Inclusion Charter

     

    As part of Derby city’s commitment to inclusion, the local authority's inclusion group has introduced the 'Inclusion Charter.'

    This Inclusion Charter acts as a common code of practice for schools in Derby and sets out five key principles for an inclusive school. 

    The Inclusion Charter can have a positive impact on children and young people by supporting schools to:

    • Create a positive school culture
    • Provide a sense of belonging
    • Improve mental health and well-being
    • Increase engagement
    • Ensure equitable opportunities
    • Raise aspirations and expectations
    • Improve outcomes
