Bristol City Council’s
People Scrutiny Commission has launched a Working Group to examine issues around enabling Inclusive Mainstream Education in Bristol. The Working Group is made up of cross-Party Councillors. Cllr Tim Kent, Chair of the Working Group, invites you to engage by providing a short response to the following question;
What can help enable all children reach their potential within mainstream education?
This may include local policy and practice (the Council, and Education, Health and Community Safety Partners) and national policy and good practice; and also, whether you feel admissions policies have an impact on enabling inclusive mainstream education.
This new working group will examine issues around enabling inclusive mainstream education. Please can you share your views and bring expertise to the group from a community safety /safeguarding perspective.
Insight and views based on your response will help the Working Group achieve its objectives, which are;
- To identify the key challenges and opportunities to enable inclusive education in mainstream settings in Bristol (including local policy and practice, significance of admissions policies, and national policy);
- To inform policy development within the Council and across mainstream educational settings, to help address and overcome systemic barriers to inclusive mainstream education.
