TACTYC – Inclusive Practice in the Early Years

A LIVE WEBINAR FOCUSING ON INCLUSIVE PRACTICE IN THE EARLY YEARS

This webinar, led by author and early years expert Penny Borkett, focuses on the ever-evolving notion of inclusion. It will discuss how inclusion has changed since first introduced through the Warnock review.

Penny goes on to suggest that all children are unique and therefore require an individualised curriculum which links to their needs, interests and fascination.
