24 OctReview of Inclusion Support Program Guidelines
The Inclusion Support Program (ISP) is a key part of the Child Care Safety Net. It assists early childhood education and care services to improve their capacity and capability to provide quality inclusive practices, address participation barriers and include children with additional needs alongside their typically developing peers. The Department of Education has now published draft updated ISP Guidelines and is providing stakeholders with the opportunity to provide feedback. Feedback will be used by the department to inform the final ISP Guidelines, which are expected to come into effect from January 2020.
A summary of the key proposed changes and a link to the survey questionnaire can be found here.
Feedback can also be provided directly to the department to InclusionSupportProgram@education.gov.au (by 11.59 pm AEST Monday, 11 November, 2019).
For any enquiries, please email InclusionSupportProgram@education.gov.au.
