Reflective Framework

A reflective approach to identifying SEND and building inclusion.

Having strong SEND practices and a culture of inclusion are both key aspects of early years practice which should overlap and complement each other. A useful method for exploring how effective your inclusive practices are is to reflect on your provision and practice regularly. Dingley’s Promise have developed a Reflection Framework to facilitate this. It explores how inclusion is implemented holistically within your provision, and looks at the role of leaders and managers, educators, environments and transition processes. This Reflection Framework has been created through desk research on current audit and reflection tools as well as statutory guidance.
