Exploring exciting opportunities for collaboration!

It was a pleasure for our CEO, Cheryl Edwards FIFIP, and Head of Inclusion EB8 Alex Edwards to meet with Diane Vernon MBE FIEP and Dr Janie Frampton OBE DL from EmployabilityUK last week.

It was a really positive conversation about our shared values, ambitions and commitment to creating opportunities and improving outcomes for young people.

We're excited to explore how we might work together, combining our experience, expertise and shared passion to make an even greater difference.

💬 Words matter – especially in education.

Words Matter has published an important new report exploring the impact and prevention of childhood verbal abuse in education.

Research by Words Matter with UCL Institute of Education heard from more than 1,000 students and 600 teachers – and one finding that stood out to us on

💛 76% of teachers said building positive relationships is central to their role.

But workload, curriculum pressures and school culture can make this harder. The report also highlights the risk of “compassion fatigue” when staff are tired, stretched and under sustained pressure.

At Inclusion Education, we know just how important safe, trusted and compassionate relationships can be for young people, particularly those experiencing mental health challenges and SEND.

So on , it’s a timely reminder to recognise the teachers and education professionals building those relationships every day – and the importance of supporting them too. 💛

Proud to see our Relationships Director, Marie Greenhalgh, speaking up for young neurodivergent people. 💜
We need a more joined-up, compassionate approach that focuses on understanding and support, not labels or stigma. Every young person deserves to feel valued, accepted and supported to thrive.
