Framework for Inclusion

Dumfries and Galloway’s Framework for Inclusion (FfI) is an ongoing culmination of work compiled in response to key policy drivers in Scottish Education.

The ‘Support for Learning- All our Children, All their Potential, 2020 (Morgan Report)’, UNCRC, and The Promise, Scotland highlight an evidenced need for all pupils to access an inclusive curriculum where they are ‘Participating, Present, Achieving and Supported’ (Presumption of Mainstream, 2019).

Use the logo below and the toolbar above to support your inclusive practice journey. The GIFREC Directory (located on the toolbar above) also provides a comprehensive guide to all referral services/ partners across Dumfries and Galloway.

Based on Education Scotland’s Inclusion, Wellbeing and Equity model, the DG Interactive FfI logo (below) can be accessed by clicking on individual quadrants which lead you to examples of effective practice, pertinent policies and helpful resources.
