Keys to Inclusion — Equality, Diversity, Inclusion for disabled children and their families

We work alongside children with disabilities and their families to promote inclusion. We do this at a variety of levels, providing support and advocacy for families, training for organisations and consultancy for local authorities.

We believe that all children have the same rights and should be able to enjoy the same kinds of activities and be full members of their communities.

Our mission is to actively promote the inclusion of children with disabilities for the benefit of the children, their families and their communities.

Some of the systems meant to assist children and families affected by disability are very limited and inflexible, without enough respect, support and participation for children and their families.

We aim to work with individuals, families and social services to encourage the transition from inflexible and segregated provision to an approach which enables positive choices, person centred support and inclusion.

We have listened to families and learned about what is working.  We are  engaging with others who want to try new ideas, challenge the systems that discriminate and exclude and come up with creative solutions.
