Inclusion Strategy Readiness Check — Free Light Version — September 2026 Updated

A free 15-minute inclusion readiness check for schools and trusts preparing for stronger inclusion strategy, evidence and implementation. Updated for September 2026 use, it helps leaders review five key areas, identify gaps and generate a simple 30/60/90 action plan.

Main Product Description

The Inclusion Strategy Readiness Check — Light Version is a free, practical starting point for schools and trusts who want inclusion strategy work to become more than a written document.

Updated for September 2026 use, this light version helps leaders reflect quickly on five important areas:

• Whole-school inclusion
• Shared staff language
• Pupil belonging
• Community voice
• Sustainable provision

It gives you a live readiness picture, a simple 30/60/90 action plan and an evidence checklist so you can see where your strengths are — and where the gaps need attention.

This is not about creating a polished strategy that sits in a folder.

It is about asking whether inclusion is being understood, implemented, evidenced and experienced by children.

What’s Included

• Free 15-minute readiness check
• Five inclusion readiness domains
• Live readiness picture
