Schools: 40 Grant: £306,650
Key Stage: 3, 4 Duration: 3 year(s) Type of Trial: Efficacy Trial
Completed January 2017

INCLUSIVE, also known as Learning Together, is a whole-school programme using a restorative practice approach to reduce bullying and aggression and promote health among secondary school pupils (pupils aged 11 – 16 in Years 7 – 11). The programme includes 2.5 hours of restorative practice training for all school staff, an additional three days of training for 5 – 10 members of staff and socioemotional skills curriculum materials (5−10 hours per year of lessons for pupils in Years 8 – 10). Schools must also coordinate two action group meetings per term, where a small group of staff and pupils meet to discuss action plans for improving school climate and practices related to inclusivity, informed by the results of needs assessment surveys completed by pupils.
