Inclusion in Practice

  Supporting development locally for inclusive outcomes

The Inclusion Institute can support your organisation to achieve socially inclusive outcomes with and for your service users.

The Inclusion Institute is a centre for learning and practical evidence, working through an experienced and diverse team of Development and Academic Associates, across England, on inclusion and personalisation for older people, families and people with dementia or disability, as well as those with mental health issues.

The Inclusion Institute works at a national level with a wide range of affiliated organisations, an experienced reference network of service users and a coalition of key professional bodies representing psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work and occupational therapy. We build on the work of the National Social Inclusion Programme, ensuring that the vision for inclusion is realised in local practice. Key to this learning is our partnership at a local level with a number of mental health trusts across England, helping to identify, shape and meet their inclusion outcome objectives across many life domains.

We will help you to achieve evidence based inclusive outcomes at a local level. Our work is underpinned by the core principles of co-production, working with service users and broader communities at every level of development, delivery and quality assurance through service user networks and our own advisory group.

The institute has a flexible approach that can be tailored to the individual needs of local organisations and wider partnerships. We have extensive experience of brokering relationships between sectors and organisations and can use our expertise to help you do the same. Through mixed methods, including brokerage, training, coaching, learning sets, leadership development and service improvement, we will develop and deliver a bespoke package of evidence based support, ensuring that learning is cascaded and that changes are embedded within your organisation.
