Through the Sector-Led Inclusion Expert Group (SIEG), made up of senior leaders in outstanding specialist provision, we co-produced practical tools, including an enhanced inclusion audit framework and a comprehensive toolkit of strategies. Our goal was to: - Build capacity in mainstream settings to deliver high-quality inclusive education. - Improve outcomes for pupils with SEND. - Foster sustainable partnerships between special and mainstream schools. #### **Webinar Recording** The webinar launching the Inclusion Audit Framework.
