Cultural Inclusion for Young People with SEND

Paul Morrow is Lead Practitioner of the Creative Arts at Westminster Special Schools and a practising artist. Paul founded the West London Inclusive Arts Festival, a festival funded by the John Lyon’s Charity involving six special needs schools and six cultural partners. He is also the co-author of the Cultural Inclusion Manifesto.

Ultimately, cultural inclusion is an essential piece of the jigsaw for ensuring that all children and young people have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Paul has brought the reality of this to life through this book. It’s now time for all of us to play our part in building a culturally rich and more inclusive world.Professor Adam Boddison, Visiting Professor of Education, University of Wolverhampton
