Help us reset a failing system
True change happens when we move beyond individual classrooms to address the systemic challenges in education. For over a decade, Inclusion Education has pioneered new approaches to supporting young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs.
Building bridges for lasting impact
Real change requires working together. Our collaborations with Basingstoke & Deane Council, Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, and national networks like the Hampshire Suicide Prevention Forum aim to amplify our mission, educate people and influence policy. We share our knowledge through research partnerships, regular media contributions, and community events that unite people around a common goal. From parliamentary discussions on suicide prevention standards to local employer forums, we’re ensuring the voices of young people with SEND are heard where decisions are made. These partnerships don’t just extend our work, they multiply it, creating ripple effects that reach far beyond what any single organisation could achieve alone.
The Inclusion Way™
Our framework centres emotional well-being through trusting relationships, placing recovery and trauma-informed approaches at the heart of education. This organisation-wide methodology is transforming how educators understand and respond to young people’s needs.
Research shows that trauma-informed approaches increase student engagement by up to 68% and reduce exclusion rates by 47% when properly implemented.¹
Beyond Traditional
Our work demonstrates that alternative approaches to education aren’t just beneficial for some young people, they’re absolutely essential. Through our successful programs at Inclusion School, Inclusion College and EB8 we’re proving that thoughtful, adaptable education models work.
