Leading Inclusive Support in Fully Online Learning

A practical guide to recognising learning barriers and coordinating individual support in fully online schools. It helps inclusion leaders understand the learner’s experience, work with teachers and families, agree useful adjustments and review their effect on access, participation and wellbeing.

What’s included

The 15-page guide follows eight stages, covering:

  • Understanding learner strengths, needs and the online learning environment.

  • Recognising emerging barriers and checking possible explanations.

  • Supporting accessible teaching and meaningful participation.

  • Responding to neurodivergence, anxiety, distress and overlapping needs.

  • Coordinating teachers, learning support staff, pastoral teams, families and specialists.

  • Clarifying responsibilities, communication and review arrangements.

  • Following school procedures when safety concerns arise.

  • Evaluating support through learner feedback and evidence of progress.

The guide includes practical examples, leadership actions, reflection prompts and a framework schools can use to create their own individual support plan. All material is contained within the PDF.
