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 there consistent inclusive approaches across all establishments in your learning community/cluster? Are these communicated well across all locality stakeholders?
