Publisher's Synopsis
Index for Inclusion: developing play, learning and participation in early years and childcare (includes CD) (2006)
This 2006 revised and updated edition of the Index for early years and childcare now includes a CD to make it more accessible. The Index is a detailed set of materials to help settings increase the participation of young children in play and learning. The Index involves a self-review of all aspects of a setting, drawing on additional help as needed. It encourages the involvement in inclusive development of all practitioners, volunteers, management committee/governors, children, young people and their parents/carers. Actions to assist inclusion are prioritised and a development plan is drawn up, implemented and reviewed using the Index materials. These changes are sustained in the setting as the process progresses annually.
