Policy and Research
Policy and research are the necessary to our work, providing the evidence we need to guide our efforts and ensuring that our policies and campaigns are grounded in rights based evidence to help dismantle systemic barriers within the education system
At ALLFIE, we are consistently working on new campaigns to influence policy decisions, and producing new research relating to the issues that impact Disabled people most. We are particularly interested in research that demonstrates the benefits of Inclusive Education for all Disabled students, and exposes the injustices in our current education system.
Policy
Consultation responses and Parliamentary briefings
ALLFIE opposes current legislation and policy changes which undermine the right and injustices of Disabled pupils and students to be in mainstream, and the support they need to be there. Disabled people are being set up to fail and we want to stop this.
