inclusive practices

Everyone-belongs methods

Inclusive practices are policies and behaviors designed to ensure all people can participate fully, regardless of disability, background, or identity.

The term appears most often in education and workplace contexts: The school adopted inclusive practices for students with learning differences.

Critics sometimes use the phrase dismissively to suggest performative diversity efforts.
