All children and young people are entitled to an education that is appropriate to their needs, promotes high standards and the fulfilment of potential.
This guidance is designed to help education practitioners in all settings identify, plan for and meet the needs of children and young people who may require targeted support or interventions that can be provided from the resources that are ‘ordinarily’ available within the setting.
Dudley parent/carers, education settings and practitioners worked together to co-produce this Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision guidance document which is intended to be used as a tool for schools and settings and those partner agencies working with them. This document contains a wealth of ideas, strategies and interventions to help support Dudley children and young people who may have additional needs. It contains links to resources and training both from local services and from national providers. It is hoped that it will promote confidence and knowledge within our workforce which will lead to a greater consistency in the support our children and young people receive.
