Early years inclusion champion award

This award will acknowledge and celebrate early years providers that deliver high quality inclusive practice to all children, including those with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We know that many of you are already doing this, and we would therefore encourage you to sign up to showcase your practice and receive recognition and financial reward.

To successfully gain the award, you must demonstrate that your setting meets the standards of inclusion as set out on the platform. There is no time limit on completion so you can work through this at your own pace.

All applications will be quality assured by the Early Years Inclusion Team and additional support/advice is available from this team throughout your journey. On successful completion, the award is valid for three years. You should consider re-applying for this award after two years to ensure continuous Champion status.
