Requirements for inclusion form - KIDS has developed this example of a form, which can be used to collect information about children attending play, youth, leisure or childcare settings. Many forms used in services and settings are unhelpfully focused on children's impairments and things that they can't do. This form however allows staff to understand each child's individual requirements and about how to include them effectively into their setting or service.

Choosing our words - Working within the Social Model of Disability, this guide outlines appropriate terminology when discussing issues around disablism.

Legislation, policy and guidance relating to inclusive play and childcare - Divided into three sections, this document outlines policy, legislation and useful resources relevant to practitioners and managers working in the area of inclusive play and childcare.

Useful publications and resources on inclusive play - A comprehensive collection of publications, websites, and DVDs around children's rights and participation, play, playwork training & quality assurance, risk in play/health and safety, play policy & strategy, access & design issues and other policy documents.
