The Barking and Dagenham Inclusion

In 2020, Headteacher Roger Mitchell was asked by his Local Authority to chair the ‘SEMH Workstream’, a group in which he brought together practitioners and commissioners from across education, health, social care and third sector organisations who support children and young people and schools in his borough.

Roger led this group on the development and production of a number of materials and resources that have now been formally adopted by Barking and Dagenham LA.

These included The Barking and Dagenham Inclusion Pledge – a set of fundamental values that underpin a holistic approach to the inclusion of all children.
