Every Child Included,

SEND strategies for the secondary classroom (PDF)

A child can sit in a mainstream classroom for five years and never once be included in it — on the register, on the seating plan, on the photograph, and receiving in practice a quietly smaller education than the child beside them.

This booklet is about the gap between where a child is sitting and what is actually being expected of them. It closes with a standalone chapter written from Emirates law outward, for schools working under KHDA or ADEK rather than Ofsted.

Written to
The SEND Code of Practice 2015, the Children and Families Act 2014 & the 2025 Ofsted toolkit
Intended for
SENCOs, SLT, teachers and teaching assistants
