Benefits of using the Inclusive Education Audit

Using the Inclusive Education Audit process is beneficial for education settings in a number of ways:

To enable settings to identify their strengths and areas for improvement in inclusive practice
To inform the setting’s development plan and identify training needs
To support with preparation for inspections in the area of inclusive education from external agencies
To support settings identifying areas of focus when accessing supportive services, such as the Educational Psychology Team
To provide regular opportunities to coproduce with parents/carers and pupils
To access a range of support with implementing the auditing tool provided by the Inclusion Audit manager
To access the range of support with inclusive education available as part of the process. This includes universal support, peer mentoring and individual setting support
As a city-wide audit, it can become a vehicle for sharing good practice and peer mentoring opportunities
To support the development of a collaborative approach for meeting the needs of all children and young people in Southampton
To inform the triangulation of information discussed at the Schools Monitoring Group (SMG) to support with understanding areas of strengths and development areas across the city
