Your Child has a Right to Education
Every child, regardless of their additional needs, has a right to education. This fundamental principle is promoted in both national and international law, recognising that education is not a privilege, but a basic human right.
Inclusive education aims to provide all children with the opportunity to learn and develop to their full potential within mainstream settings wherever possible, with reasonable adjustments and support tailored to their individual requirements.
​
This ensures that children with disabilities or additional needs are not excluded or marginalised, but rather empowered to participate fully in society, creating their own independence, self-esteem, and future prospects.
