Sheffield Inclusion Model: Supporting Achievement and Well-being in Schools
The Sheffield Inclusion Model outlines how the SEND and inclusion system works in Sheffield schools, emphasizing the importance of supporting the achievement, health, and well-being of all pupils. Through collaborative efforts with the Local Authority and various partners, the model aims to deliver Sheffield's Inclusion Strategy by promoting inclusive practices, providing early help for children and young people, and driving improvement through the Inclusion Taskforce. Accessing support within the model is facilitated through various channels, such as training programs, specialist provisions, and multi-agency panels, all geared towards enhancing the educational experience and well-being of Sheffield students.
