In addition to the Challenge Questions provided in HGIOS4 around 3.1 Ensuring Wellbeing, Equality and Inclusion (p49 HGIOS4), the South East Improvement Collaborative (SEIC) have produced a useful SEIC 3.1 Inclusion & Wellbeing Self Evaluation Toolkit to support Inclusive practice in all learning establishments.
Please also consider the following key challenge questions to support inclusion in practice:

• Are all learning establishments within your learning community familiar with and practice the principles in SBC INCLUDES?
• Are there consistent inclusive approaches across your learning establishment? Are these communicated well across all stakeholders?
• Have all teaching staff completed the Education Scotland’s online “Introduction to Inclusive Practice” Module?
• Are there consistent inclusive approaches across all establishments in your learning community/cluster? Are these communicated well across all locality stakeholders?
• Are all staff familiar with Scottish Borders Council’s Inclusion priorities?
• Are all staff familiar with the Inclusion Framework, Inclusion Policy and associated documents and guidelines?
