Handling pushback on inclusion

Handling Pushback on Inclusion is a practical and empowering seminar for staff who want to champion inclusion – but worry about the backlash. Focusing on real-world scenarios, it provides the language, confidence and techniques needed to respond to challenging questions from parents, staff or the wider community.
We’ll explore what drives resistance, how to keep conversations calm and grounded in values, and how to communicate clearly about inclusion without losing hearts and minds. Participants will leave with scripts, strategies and messaging tips to tackle even the toughest conversations, while keeping their school or organisation firmly on an inclusive path.
