About Inclusive Learning North:

Inclusive Learning North provides high quality support, training and consultancy to schools providing for 3-11year olds in the north of England. Their Inclusion Forums are ever-growing, both in the number of schools taking part and the strength of voice it has to enable positive development in schools' inclusive practice and the products and services provided to support them. The Forums seek to bring the best research, practice, resources and expertise in both SEND and wider aspects of inclusion, from around the UK and beyond. Current projects include engaging with the Department for Education (DfE) in the development of ways of measuring progress of pupils on P-Scales, and engaging schools in the Own-voice Intensive Phonics (OVIP) project with Philip MacMillan from Exeter University.
