Inclusive Practice: Your guide to being a fully inclusive setting - Part 2 - Positive Relationships

This is the second of a four-part series on inclusive practice. The articles are structured around the themes and principles underpinning the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Each article will provide you with some important background information on policy, some real-life case studies and examples of principles into practice and a list of useful resources, and will also give you some questions to challenge your own understanding and practice.

The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (May 2008, paragraph 1.11) states that:

Positive Relationships describes how children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person. The commitments are focused around respect; partnership with parents; supporting learning; and the role of the key person.

In this article we will be considering all of these aspects.
