Alliance for Inclusive Education

Name of Organisation: Alliance for Inclusive Education
Headline: Education not segregation
What We Do: We are a national network of individuals, families and groups who work together to help change our education system.

Services Offered: We are a national network led by disabled people and supported by allies that include parents, educators and Head Teachers. The Alliance has campaigned successfully, over the last 15 years, to remove the legal conditions which have served to limit the rights of children with Special Educational Needs to secure a supported mainstream placement. We have also been very influential in bringing education into the remit of the Disability Discrimination Act, strengthening the right of disabled young people to protection from discrimination within the education system.

Our Principles Inclusive education enables all students to fully participate in any mainstream early years provision, school, college or university. Inclusive education provision has training and resources aimed at fostering every student's equality and participation in all aspects of the life of the learning community.

Inclusive education aims to equip all people with the skills needed to build inclusive communities.

Inclusive education is based on nine principles:

  • A person's worth is independent of their abilities or achievements
  • Every human being is able to feel and think
  • Every human being has a right to communicate and be heard
  • All human beings need each other
  • Real education can only happen in the context of real relationships
  • All people need support and friendship from people of their own age
  • Progress for all learners is achieved by building on things people can do rather than what they can't
  • Diversity brings strength to all living systems
  • Collaboration is more important than competition
