We recently launched the Who is Losing Learning Solutions Report, laying out our plan to end the crisis of lost learning.
At the heart of our recommendations is whole school inclusion: a system where all staff support the learning, wellbeing, and safety needs of all children.

It was great to have introduced Isaac to some of his edu-heroes today. He was spoilt with cuddles and love. It felt symbolic holding 12 week-old Isaac as 200+ colleagues discussed a path towards a flourishing education system. There's so much hope for the system and the answer lies within.

Title slide to report: Finding Solutions to the School Engagement Crisis.
Slide with text: "To turn the tide of lost learning, the education system must evolve. It must put inclusion at the heart of everything it does. If delivered well, whole school inclusion could transform outcomes for a generation of children."
First recommendation slide, with text: "The sector needs a shared definition of measurable school inclusion: 'all staff supporting the learning, wellbeing and safety needs of all children, so that they belong, achieve and thrive.'"
Final recommendation slide with text: "All pupil movements should be equally visible and accountable. Government should introduce legislation that provides oversight of pupil movements off site and off roll."
