Every child deserves support. ‘Inclusion Without Labels’ is a new resource to support early years practitioners and childcare professionals in embedding universal inclusive practice for all children. Explore buff.ly/CiGrpQa to learn more.

A collage of a child playing. The text reads: Supporting early years inclusive practice: Inclusion without labels. Children do not require a diagnosis or ‘label’ for you to make adjustments to support them. However, it can only be a reasonable adjustment if the initial expectations are also reasonable.
