Inclusive practice is at the heart of what we do. We want every learner, regardless of need, to feel welcomed, understood and able to access our learning programme.
We achieve this by:
- Having a SEND Officer who liaises with teachers on how best to support any additional needs and disabilities
- Employing a skilled and experienced team of educators who attend training to build their inclusive practice skills, such as Makaton
- Providing a range of accessible resources to support your visit and participation in our workshops – visuals, large print and braille, scaffolding sheets etc.
- Offering adapted versions of most of our school workshops, and a dedicated SEND programme for more complex needs
- Ensuring our workshop delivery follows an ‘Accessible by Default’ framework.
Contact learning-london@rafmuseum.org or call 020 8358 4896 if you have any questions about how we can support your learners and ensure that everyone has a meaningful experience at the Museum.
We look forward to welcoming you whether you join us online or onsite.
