Over the past week, there have been two critical incidents in NSW, with heavy media coverage of both incidents. This may be impacting on your service’s children, families and communities.

The Big Situations resource includes links to free and practical resources to support educators to respond to situations such as this. When educators feel prepared to respond to big situations, they are more able to remain inclusive of all children and continue to deliver a quality program. We encourage you to access our Critical Incidents page here or please contact your Inclusion Professional if you would like support.

The Inclusion Support Program aims to build the capacity and capability of educators to address participation barriers for all children through implementing quality inclusive practices.

The NSW/ACT Inclusion Agency (IA) is part of the Inclusion Support Program (ISP) and is managed by KU Children’s Services, in partnership with Include Me and Gowrie NSW.

Understanding Inclusion

“Inclusion is an important ‘big idea’ but it is also a hands on, every day, very practical process that is lived out moment by moment.” - Dr Kathy Cologan (2021)
