Professional Development That Builds Inclusion Capacity.
The national Inclusion Support Program exists to help CCS-approved services build their capacity to include children with support needs. Our whole-centre partnership is capacity building in its purest form: your team, coached by a speech pathologist, all year.
What the Inclusion Support Program is for
The Inclusion Support Program (ISP) is the Australian Government's national program helping CCS-approved early childhood services in every state and territory include children with support needs. Capacity building sits at its heart: the program's inclusion agencies work with services to strengthen inclusive practice in childcare settings, not only to fund additional educators.
Whatever your service's ISP involvement looks like, the underlying goal is the same one we work toward: educators who are confident and capable of including every child, without waiting for diagnoses or external appointments.
How Pocket Education fits
How a Pocket Education Partnership Builds Inclusion Capacity
Whole-team capability
Every educator in your service learns the same neuroaffirming approach, so inclusion does not depend on one champion staff member.
Practice, not paperwork
Coaching sessions work on the real children and routines in your rooms, turning inclusive intent into daily practice.
Evidence for your QIP
Strategies map to Quality Areas 1, 5 and 6 and your EYLF planning cycle, giving your Quality Improvement Plan concrete evidence of inclusive practice.
Knowledge that stays
Recorded sessions and the resource library onboard new staff and hold capability through turnover, the point where inclusion gains are usually lost.
ISP arrangements are administered by the Australian Government and its inclusion agencies, and program details can change. Talk to your inclusion professional or program contact about your service's situation; we are happy to support that conversation.
