A point was made about being inclusive. A few people used the word "acceptance" today and last week. Some people have an idea that they are inclusive but they are not really accepting. That is where we need to move to. It is about creating awareness.

It is about inclusion but it is also about effectiveness. That is important. The proposal to visit a school with which the whole-school approach has been used is excellent. Perhaps it should be opened up to others, including the NCSE, if it has not undertaken such a visit, and the Department. They might then take the model under consideration.
