A SIP is a self-guided inclusion assessment and planning tool for services, that includes strategies for improving and embedding inclusive practice, in line with the National Quality Standards NQS.
All services receiving support through the Inclusion Support Program (ISP) must develop a Strategic Inclusion Plan (SIP) for their service, in collaboration with the Inclusion Agency (IA).
A SIP is a self-guided inclusion assessment and planning tool for services, that includes strategies for improving and embedding inclusive practice, in line with the National Quality Standards (NQS). The development of a SIP recognises the current inclusive capacity of a service and outlines the strategies and actions educators will implement to increase this capacity to include all children.
The development of a SIP is the first step to accessing support from the ISP including funding through the Inclusion Development Fund (IDF). Each service location will have one SIP, which can incorporate the inclusion planning for all care environments delivered from this site.
The SIP is developed, implemented and evaluated within a 12 month period. A SIP can be updated during this period to reflect any changes, and record the progress made in implementing the strategies and actions outlined.
