With a worldwide shortage of expert Inclusion Leads many international schools struggle to meet the standards set nationally and internationally because, all too often, inclusion provision falters when the Inclusion Lead moves on.

​

At IEI, we help international schools build inclusion systems that actually work—not just on paper, but in practice.

 

We create bulletproof frameworks that remain fully functional through staffing turnover and budget constraints, ensuring long-term effectiveness regardless of organisational changes.

If your inclusion provision is experiencing difficulties we have the solution. We can:

​

  • Help you build your inclusion provision from scratch

  • Create a sustainable system that keeps working despite staff turnover

  • Transform one of your existing team members into your Inclusion Lead

  • Help you provide genuine support for every learner

  • Provide ongoing support for your inclusion lead via online mentoring 

  • Provide CPD training in all aspects of Inclusion

  • Offer a solution that fits your budget—and your reality

  • Help you meet international standards

BUILD INCLUSION THAT SURVIVES. PRODUCE STUDENTS WHO THRIVE.
