Inclusion as a concept has never been properly defined in law. This book helps professionals working with young children and their families to understand the concept of inclusion and inclusive practice.
It represents a genuine attempt to identify the challenges and barriers to inclusion for all children and makes suggestions about how they might be overcome.
As well as featuring examples of good practice developed over the years, it takes into account contemporary issues such as austerity measures and cuts to public services.
Current theories and debates about a host of key concepts - such as families, gender and health inequality - are laid out.
