Welcome
Mission
The aim of Equity in Education is to improve educational and social outcomes for children and young people, in particular those with additional support needs.
Our objectives are to:
- Help children and young people, families, schools and education authorities to work together, generally through promoting a positive approach to inclusive education and specifically through facilitating person-centred planning and circles of support
- Engage members (currently in excess of 400) in contributing to the development of educational legislation and policy
- Provide information, advice, support and advocacy for children and young people with additional support needs and their families
- Provide training programmes for parents, teachers, classroom assistants, education managers, social work and health staff, on the theory and practice of inclusive education
- Undertake participatory research on equality and inclusion in educational settings
- Disseminate information on good practice in inclusive education.
