What does an inclusive trust look like in practice, and how can that ambition be sustained as pupil needs become increasingly complex? This session will explore how trusts can create a shared approach to inclusion while recognising that different pupils and communities require different responses. Where can stronger mainstream capacity and earlier support make the greatest difference, where is specialist provision needed, and how can trusts make those choices sustainably?
Where does effective support depend on stronger partnerships with local authorities, health and other services?
How much consistency should a trust expect across schools?
What does belonging look like beyond attainment?
