Inclusion Support
The aim of the Australian Government funded Inclusion Support Program is to remove the barriers to accessing child care that may be experienced by children with a disability, CALD backgrounds, and Indigenous children.
The program assists child care services with a range of practical supports, including advice, planning and resources, so that they are better able to provide all children with the opportunities to participate in activities that encourage learning and development within relationships with peers and adults and in a manner that reflects the interests and strengths of all children inclusive of physical, cultural and linguistic diversity.
Inclusion Support Agencies
Under the program, Inclusion Support Agencies (ISAs) employ Inclusion Support Facilitators (ISFs) who provide child care services with practical support that will help build their capacity to provide a quality inclusive environment for children with additional needs.
KU Children's Services operates ISAs in 7 NSW regions - More information
