4/ Inclusion

Creating an inclusive environment helps everyone to feel welcome and challenges prejudice. This helps children and young people to be themselves without feeling ‘othered’ and means prejudice-based bullying is less likely to thrive. 

reward schools have a good understanding of the diverse make-up of their school’s community and its related needs. They celebrate diversity, have strong messaging relating to inclusion and challenge prejudice. 

Inclusion is embedded within the curriculum and safe spaces are created, particularly for those with protected characteristics. 

Schools have a focus on improvement and empower the whole school community to create an inclusive environment for all.
