Build Inclusion - Educate, Don’t Segregate

In collaboration with the Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People (GMCDP), the Alliance for Inclusive Education (ALLFIE) is bringing together Disabled People’s Organisations, young Disabled people, activists, and allies to launch and mobilise a powerful regional movement for Inclusive Education.EDUCATE, DON’T SEGREGATE

Our collective power can dismantle segregation and build an education system where Disabled people belong, thrive and lead.

We demand immediate action. STOP:

• Funding structures that favour segregated schooling
• Cuts to SEND resources in mainstream schools
• Use of force, restraint, and seclusion in educational settings
• Systemic barriers that exclude Disabled people
• Government failure to uphold its commitment under the UNCRPD to Inclusive Education

Join us. Organise. Mobilise. Demand Inclusive Education – NOW!
