Voice Inclusive Practice

Voice Inclusive Practice

A student’s right to voice opinions on matters affecting them at school can have a positive impact on their wellbeing, learning and engagement.

Voice Inclusive Practices are frameworks and tools that teachers and schools can use to give students the opportunity to have their say on school matters, which in turn can enhance their wellbeing and learning.

The information available on this site is designed to help teachers, educators, schools and other educational settings begin to implement Voice Inclusive Practices.
