The Inclusion Development Programme

The Inclusion Development Programme (IDP) is a four year training programme aimed at staff in mainstream schools. In the first year, the focus is being placed on identifying and addressing barriers to learning for pupils with dyslexia and also for those with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).

Next year it is intended that the IDP will target the needs of pupils with autistic spectrum disorder. This will be followed by supporting pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and then those with moderate learning difficulties. There is an "expectation" that all mainstream settings will take action to include this programme in their CPD - it is however, not statutory.
