Inclusion Confident Communities has been developed to help you feel more confident in effectively and successfully including children with additional needs and disabilities. This initiative aims to build knowledge and understanding across the community of leaders, volunteers or team members of play and youth groups, arts and sports organisations, uniformed groups, faith communities, charities, community groups and local organisations in Surrey.

We have collaborated with a number of organisations to deliver a series of online knowledge learning workshops, under Inclusion Confident Communities, to help increase understanding and confidence of how we can create inclusive settings within all of our communities.
