Who is Belong for?
Belong, the mainstream inclusion directory and audit, was created by pop pop studio in collaboration with the Specialist Inclusion Teams and SENCOs at Leeds and Calderdale local authorities.
Ideally it is used by Local Authorities as part of their SEND and Inclusion strategy. That's the best starting point for creating the Audit, so that it can be tailored to local needs.
It would also suit Multi-Academy Trusts who are independently working to enhance inclusion.
