91ԭƬ Statement on inclusion

91ԭƬ Statement on inclusion states “All deaf children and young people (CYP) should be supported to become independent and valued members of society, where they can contribute and fully access services. There are a range of needs in the ‘deaf population’. Therefore, certain environments will be more compatible to effective learning than others, but inclusion is not a placement or a state, but where attitudes align to foster a sense of belonging for all.”
