Early Years Inclusion Process
Designed to support settings in implementing the graduated response by providing additional support for children and families.
In Worcestershire, we have co-produced a definition of inclusion that we use to support all educational settings, including Early Years providers.
The implementation of the graduated response includes an Early Help offer, and the following link provides a helpful flow chart that shows providers’ responsibilities, Early Years Inclusion flow chart (PDF).
If you are a parent or carer and have concerns about your child starting nursery or school and you think they need some extra help, please speak to your doctor (GP), Health Visitor or Early Years Professional, for example nursery or childminder, about the Early Years Inclusion Process (EYIP).
You can find out more about EYIP by visiting our dedicated web page for parents and carer on our Local Offer: Early Years Inclusion Process for parents.
