Dudley is committed to inclusion for all its children and young people, regardless of their experiences and cicumstances. We believe that every child has the right to reach their full potential. 
 
Inclusion is a process we continually work towards with the aim of ensuring a flexible approach to meet the ever-changing needs of our children and young people. Dudley recognises that children are all different and prides itself on ensuring that these differences are valued, celebrated and respected.
 
We work in partnership with specialist services to ensure children, young people and their families receive consistent, quality childcare provision.
 
Dudley is committed to providing and supporting the development of inclusive practice for disabled children. We part-fund and work alongside the borough's me2 award to support the delivery of quality inclusive practice.
 
We aim to ensure there is good quality, accessible childcare places available for children with additional educational needs and/or disabilities and for children from minority groups.
 
Training to support inclusion in settings is available in the latest training programme.
