Welcome to Inclusion Trust.
We have an international reputation for excellence in education and learning.
We specialise in the reengagement and inclusion of disenfranchised, disaffected and marginalised learners of all ages through the effective use of innovative pedagogies and cutting edge technologies. All our work is founded in practitioner research.
Inclusion Trust has been involved in a range of projects that all focus on the reintegration of disenfranchised people back into learning, into employment and back into society.

Our Current Major Projects:
Notschool.net is our flagship project that is an international 'Online Learning  Community' offering an alternative to traditional education for young people who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to engage with school or other complementary provisions such as home tutoring or specialist units. Running for over 9 years, Notschool.net has supported over 5,500 young people facilitating over 98% back into life long learning and employment. Notschool.net began as a
research project and was one of the earliest online learning communities to make innovative use of Web 2.0 technologies. Notschool.net is now considered to be full time alternative education provision, facilitating the inclusion of the most marginalised young people.
Comein is a European Union project in which Inclusion Trust is a partner. Its aims are to:
• Research, analyse and characterise various marginalised youth groups in Europe and examine online communities of practice.
• Generate and adapt customised content to facilitate social inclusion, in different regions, and across a variety of interest groups in Europe. The content will focus on learning and enterprise skills to include disaffected and marginalsed young people using mobile and Web 2.0 technologies. |

Our Mission Statement The charity exists to advance  learning opportunities for people that are excluded or disengaged from traditional education systems. In doing so we aim to make learning more accessible and engaging, but without upper limits.
The charity’s remit is to do this nationally and internationally and to carefully research our practice so that we may provide advice and support to policy makers and practitioners.
In all this, we seek to harness new and emerging technologies, and to support communities of learners within their own context and cultures.
