<p class=”MsoNormal”><span lang=”EN-GB” style=”mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;”>There are many things that can be done to build a more inclusive environment. Each of us can take steps to be more inclusive. Our words and actions send out loud messages to those around us. It is important as an educator to demonstrate visible support for diversity and inclusion and actively promote inclusion in the school environment. </span></p>
