Hi blog readers hope you are all well
For as long as I can remember I have been a problems solver. But for a lot of the time I didnt even realise I had a talent for doing it. It really want until I did my PGCE, Post Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education that I really began really realising it.
If were to sum up what inclusion was about it. In simple terms I see inclusion as recognising and identifying barriers and finding solutions to breaking them down. These barriers are there because our society and education system is basically disability and dyslexia unfriendly. Of course its not just disability and dyslexia, there are gender barriers, barriers for people of colour, financial barriers and orientation barriers.
Its amazing how many barriers people can throw up sigh. The, "but but gang", lol sigh. This throwing up of barriers is something that irks me here in Scotland. We are wonderful people in many ways but there are always people who will put up barriers to ideas rather than be open to ideas and tear down barriers lol. It s not just in Scotland of course but since founding my social enterprise I have come up against these barriers and the, "but but", crew.
For example I am a dyslexic dyslexia and inclusion specialist. However, most funding application more complex than they have to be. I find writing funding bids that meet funding criteria. I often find open funding applications to late. I just dont think inclusion is factored into funders application criteria.
Any way thats enough of me moaning lol
#PeaceLoveGroovyness to you all
