3. Inclusive Health Check.
The schools Inclusive Health Check (IHC) Is a quick and simple resource that school staff can use to assess their inclusive provision in PE and school sport. Participants answer questions which are designed to be thought provoking but non-judgmental. Once completed school staff receive a bespoke action plan which links resources and opportunities which forms part of the school's approach to become a more inclusive. The action plan and process has received positive feedback from Ofsted as it enables schools to demonstrate clear understanding and planning for an Inclusive PE provision.
