Inclusion is making sure people feel welcomed, respected, and able to take part fully. In schools, this can involve reasonable adjustments and clear behaviour expectations.

In KS3 Citizenship, diversity and inclusion link to identity, equality, and how we live together. You learn why stereotypes and prejudice cause harm, and how rights, responsibilities, and fair rules support a respectful society.

Diversity: The range of differences between people, such as background, culture, beliefs, and experiences.
Equality: Making sure people have fair chances and are not treated worse because of who they are.
Prejudice: Judging someone unfairly before knowing them, often based on a group they belong to.
